In time of trouble | |
“Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.” (Thomas Moore[1] From “Come Ye, Disconsolate” by Thomas Moore published in Sacred Songs (1816). ) | |
Another day dawns for me as for all Thy creatures, O Father, and yet, in my weakness, I know not how I shall endure the hours until night. | |
Sinful wishes have sprung up within my heart, and I have prayed for death; but Thou in Thy wisdom wouldst not hear my prayer, and I must live and share the common lot of those into whom Thou hast breathed the breath of life. | |
Forgive my evil inclinations, and show me the right path, that I may perform my daily duties cheerfully and submissively. | |
May this prayer imbue me with the spirit of contentment, whatever trials may be given me to endure. | |
Make me humble before Thee, and lead me into Thy ways. Amen. |
“In Time of Trouble” was written by Annie Josephine Levi and published in her anthology of teḥinot in English, Meditations of the Heart (1900), page 146. This prayer expresses suicidal ideation as a consequence of profound emotional and/or physical distress. If you find yourself in such distress, please avail yourself of the resources at the Suicide & Crisis Hotline. (By phone in the United States, simply dial 988.)
