Desolation Monologue and Responsive Reading

Return to sketches

The Bible is full of people asking God tough questions when going through life's storms. This dramatic monologue echoes that tradition. The speaker has just lost a baby through miscarriage. He or she addresses most of the monologue to the child, recounting all the shattered dreams and lost hopes. Finally, the speaker addresses God, asking why and whether the speaker can ever really live again. This monologue can be followed with the Desolation Responsive Reading (included with the download). A PowerPoint file for the responsive reading is included with download. Related scriptures: Ezekial 37:1-14 Isaiah 55:8-9 John 16:33 Matthew 5:4 Matthew 5:45 Matthew 6:11 Psalm 77:7-13
