Look, Lord, on an empty vessel that needs to be filled

In faith I am weak – strengthen me.

In love I am cold – warm me and make me fervent

so that my love may go out to my neighbour

I doubt and am unable to trust you completely

Lord, strengthen my faith and trust in you.

You are all the treasure I possess.

I am poor, you are rich,

and you came to have mercy on the poor.

I am a sinner, you are goodness.

From you I can receive goodness,

but I can give you nothing.

Therefore I shall stay with you.

(Martin Luther)
