You, God, who made the heavens and the earth and have promised to remake them, hear my voice.
I plead for a hearing because you often seem so distant to me, and sometimes I fear that you do not listen. Awake, O God, and hear my prayer for I struggle once again with death. Death has again invaded my world.
