Morning Prayer from Prison

A morning cry for God's help to focus prayer, receive light, and find peace amid darkness and loneliness.

O God, early in the morning I cry unto Thee. Help me to pray and to concentrate my thoughts on Thee; I cannot do it alone. In me there is darkness, but with Thee there is light; I am lonely, but Thou dost not leave me; I am feeble in heart, but with Thee there is help; I am restless, but with Thee there is peace.

Written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
