TRYING TO BE HONEST SORT OF PRAYER

Beloved and most gracious Lord,

Your substance is love.

From you only goodness flows into all creation.

I’m tired of relentless struggle,

wounds unchosen, unhealed.

Loosen my grip of self-focus;

to fall,

through the darkness of the unknown,

into the certainty of your loving embrace.

Do with me as you will.

I will thank you.

Crippled,

I offer myself to you,

desiring with all my heart to  love you without reserve

and to rest in you with boundless confidence.

For you, Love, are all I need,

now and forever more.

Amen!
