this may be a
rough draft of a prayer I have already started
words less layered
than they may once have been
I am more hopeful
that I mean them, each word,
that this truly is
the present cry of my heart
I let go of my
life, my attempts to control my steps,
to love, to
protect my family
my sense of
security, of position, of station
I submit myself to
You, as did Jesus there, in the garden, Gethsemane
use me for Your
purpose, for Your will only, not my own,
set me to whatever
You choose, wherever I might serve You
I long to be Your
Servant, as He was so long ago.
