Lament Prayer 

Jesus, Help Me! 
 
In every need let me come to You with humble trust, saying, 
Jesus, help me! 
 
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations, 
Jesus, help me! 
 
In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials, 
Jesus, help me! 
 
In the failure of my plans and hopes; in disappointments, troubles and sorrows, 
Jesus, help me! 
 
When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good come from my efforts, 
Jesus, help me! 
 
When others fail me, and Your grace alone can assist me, 
Jesus, help me! 
 
When I throw myself on Your tender love as Lord and Saviour, 
Jesus, help me! 
 
When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me, 
Jesus, help me! 
 
When sickness and loneliness overcome me, 
Jesus, help me! 
 
Always, in weakness, falls and shortcomings of every kind, 
Jesus, help me and never forsake me.
