O God, help me to pray and to
concentrate my thoughts on you:
I cannot do this alone.
In me there is much 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 your ways, enable me to live now, that I may answer before you and before me.
Lord, whatever this day may bring, your name be praised.
Amen
