PRAYER by Elizabeth Goudge
O Saviour of the world, teach us how to pray
for those who are lost in desolations of darkness
without the knowledge of the mercy that is yourself.
Give us penitence for the evil in ourselves which has
added to the darkness of the world, and if there be
any small thing we can do to lighten any misery,
show us what it is and help us to do it. Teach us
how to pray with the compassion which is not afraid
to suffer with those who suffer and, if need be,
to enter into darkness with them.
—ELIZABETH GOUDGE
