Next Sunday our service will begin with a call to worship that was adapted from a prayer written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It is a beautiful reminder to us that we are never alone as we walk the path that our life brings us along. I would love for you to take some time to reflect on this prayer during the week ahead.

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 men.

Lord whatever this day may bring,

Your name be praised.

Amen
