BEETHOVEN'S PRAYER

.
.
O God give me strength to be
victorious over myself,
for nothing may chain me to this life.
O guide my spirit,
O raise me from these dark depths,
that my soul,
transported through Your wisdom,
may fearlessly struggle upward in fiery flight.
For you alone understand and can inspire me.
.
Ludwig van Beethoven
(1770-1827) Germany
(Written after he discovered that his deafness was incurable.)
