/tmp/vdrgi.jpg Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Prayer from Prison - CANA JOURNAL
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. 
Lord Jesus Christ, You were poor 
And in distress, a captive and forsaken as I am. 
You know all man’s troubles; You abide with me 
When all men fail me; 
It is Your will that I should know You 
And turn to You. Lord, I hear Your call and follow; 
Help me.
