"Prayer of Guidance" ~ 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. ~ "'You guide me with your counsel, and afterward You will take me into glory."' ~ PSALM 73:24
