Jesus Take the Wheel

Here's a blended monologue song intro for "Jesus Take the Wheel"
3 actors

Larry: Lord, I can’t do this on my own. I’ve tried so desperately to live up to your standards.

Jan: I’ve tried to be the person you’ve asked me to be.

Sue: I never imagined the stress that three kids would bring and I know I’m not capable of being the perfect mother.

Jan: I give up. I can’t do this anymore. The stress of college. I don’t sleep well anymore and when I do I wake up with the same defeating thought. What if I don’t pass microbiology? My dad’s a doctor. He doesn’t ever say it but I’m sure he’d be disappointed if I just didn’t make it into med school.

Larry: I’m so angry with myself. I’ve read all the books and I’ve heard all the sermons but I can’t shake this addiction. It’s too big of a monster. And the wieght of putting on a show for everyone elsee in my life is making me so desperate. I don’t think I can go another day without a drink. What are you going to do to me, God? What am I going to do with myself?

Sue: Lord, how do I raise these kids without a father?

Jan: What will I do if everything I’ve worked so hard to accomplish fades into nothing..

Larry: Lord, I need you.

Jan: Lord I need you.

Sue: Lord I need you.

Jan: To help me surrender.

Larry: I’m tired of fighting.

Sue: I need to rest in you, but all I have is a compulsion to keep running from you.

Larry: Out of my shame.

Sue: Out of regret that I ever trusted him.

Jan: So Lord, take my hands from the controls.

Larry: I’ve seen the vanity of my own self saving plans.

Sue: Take me Lord.

Larry: Right here.

Jan: Right now. Here I stand Lord. As much as I doubt, and complain and wonder. I’m giving it all over to you.
