Lord, I am asking you to help me!\par Early each morning I pray to you.\par
before I go to the place\par that no person comes back from,\par the place of darkness and death.\par
\{Let me enjoy the little time I have left\}\par before I go to the place no one can see\par that place of darkness, shadows,\par and confusion.\par In that place even the light is dark.’”\par
Lord my God, I prayed to you.\par And you healed me.\par
Every morning, Lord,\par I lay my gifts before you\par and look to you \{for help\}.\par And every morning,\par you hear my prayers.\par
Living people know that they will die. But dead people don’t know anything. Dead people have no more reward. People will soon forget them.
You heard my voice.\par You didn’t close your ears.\par You didn’t refuse to rescue me.\par
The next morning, Jesus woke up very early. Jesus left the house while it was still dark. He went to a place to be alone and pray.
