Prayer in Distress

A distressed prayer asking Christ to share in suffering, stay present, and give strength to bear the cross.

Lord Jesus Christ, Thou wert poor and in distress, a prisoner and afflicted as I am. Thou knowest all man's troubles; Thou abidest with me when all men fail me. Help me, and deliver me; give me strength to bear my cross.
