“Jesus wept.”
"Nothing will give us so much strength as being fully known & fully loved by fellow human beings in the Name of God."
-Henri Nouwen
“A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out…”
"My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long?"
"How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart?"
"My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest."
"Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins."
"All day long they surround me like a flood; they have completely engulfed me. You have taken from me friend and neighbor— darkness is my closest friend."
"So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed."
