Tobi Grunick teaches from Luke 21:37 on Jesus’ intentional rhythm of spending time in the Garden of Gethsemane and the invitation for us to have environments for deeper rest and connection. At the end of this teaching, Tobi reads a prayer by Dietrich Bonhoeffer in German; find the English version below: “O God, early in the morning I cry to you. Help me to pray and to concentrate my thoughts on you; I can’t do this alone. In me there’s darkness, But with you there’s light; I’m lonely, but you don’t leave me; I’m feeble in heart, but with you there’s help; I’m restless, but with you there’s peace. In me there’s bitterness, but with you there’s patience; I don’t understand your ways, but you know the way for me. O Heavenly Father, I praise and thank you for rest in the night; I praise and thank you for this new day; I praise and thank you for all your goodness and faithfulness throughout my life. You have granted me many blessings; Now let me also accept what’s hard from your hand. You will lay on me no more
