Faith Reflections

Whatever This Day May Bring

Early in the morning I cry 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 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 humanity.
Lord, whatever this day may bring,
Your name be praised.
– a prayer by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
