THE WAY FOR ME


God, gather and turn my thoughts to You.
With You there is Light,
You forget me not.
With You there is Help, 
and with You there is Patience.
I do not understand Your Ways,
But You know the Way for me.
~Prayer by Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945)

Bonhoeffer, German Pastor, Theologian and Writer, was executed by the Gestapo on April 9, 1945, just two weeks before the Allied Forces liberated that concentration camp.

This prayer is also a beautiful prayer song composed by the Taize' Community in Taize', France. See www.taize.fr/en
