  (Quoted from an email about United Methodist General Conference)

  I Cannot Do This Alone

  O God, 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 there is
  patience;
  I do not understand your ways,
  But you know the way for me…
  Restore me to liberty,
  And enable me to live now
  That I may answer before you and before me.
  Lord, whatever this day may bring,
  Your name be praised.

  - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
