The document is a meditation on a prayer by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in which he acknowledges his own darkness, loneliness, weakness, restlessness, and bitterness, but finds help, light, companionship, strength, peace, patience, guidance, freedom, and purpose through God, who he asks to restore and enable him so that he may live for and praise God each day, no matter what it may bring.

1. I Cannot Do This Alone A Meditation on a prayer by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

2. O God, early in the morning I cry to you.

3. Help me to pray And to concentrate my thoughts on you:

4. I cannot do this alone.

5. In me there is darkness, But with you there is light;

6. I am lonely, but you do not leave me;

7. I am feeble in heart, but with you there is help;

8. I am restless, but with you there is peace.

9. In me there is bitterness, but with you there is patience;

10. I do not understand your ways, But you know the way for me

11. Restore me to liberty, And enable me to live now.

12. That I may answer before you and before me.

13. Lord, whatever this day may bring, Your name be praised. Amen.
