Prayer by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

This prayer was written by Lutheran minister Dietrich Bonhoeffer, while awaiting execution in a Nazi prison.

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, may Your name be praised.
