Toward A New Dawn
A Week of Prayers for the year 2011, Prayer 5
I trust you have found this week of prayers beneficial for your journey for the day, for the winter season, for the year.
“I have no other helper than you, no other father, I pray to you.
Only you can help me. My present misery is too great.
Despair grips me, and I am at my wit’s end.
O Lord, Creator, Ruler of the World, Father.
I thank you that you have brought me through.
“How strong the pain was — but you were stronger.
How deep the fall was – but you were even deeper.
How dark the night was – but you were the noonday sun in it.
“You are our father, our mother, our brother, and our friend. Amen.”
--An African prayer
