I long to share my whole heart,
But sometimes I am scared.
I long to really listen to another’s story,
But sometimes I wonder if I’m worthy.
I long to share my feelings,
But then I fear they won’t care.
I long to offer my hand to help,
But figure they will say ‘No thanks.’
When I step out of this confusion,
And go ahead and speak to them.
I find my fears tend to dissipate,
As I get caught up in being known.
Lord, Give me the courage to be known. Amen.
