Lord Jesus Christ,
You were poor and needy,
As captive and abandoned as I.
You know every need of human beings,
You abide by me,
When no human being stands by me,
You forget me not and you seek me out,
You desire that I know You
And draw me to Yourself.
Lord, I hear Your call and follow.
Help me!
     Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "Prayers for Prisoners" 1943
