I Cannot Do This Alone E-mail

O God, early in the morning I call to you.
Help me to pray
And to concentrate my thoughts on you;
I cannot do this alone.

In me there is darkness,
But with you there is light;
I am lonely, but you do not leave me;
I am feeble in heart, but with you there is help;
I am restless, but with you there is peace.

In me there is bitterness, but with you there is patience;
I do not understand your ways,
But you know the way for me.

Restore me to liberty,
And enable me so to live now
That I may answer before you and before me.

Lord, whatever this day may bring Your name be praised. Amen

Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
Bonhoeffer wrote this prayer in the concentration camp on the day he was to be executed.
