“Dear God,
I am so afraid to open my clenched fists!
Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to?
Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands?
Please help me to gradually open my hands
and to discover that I am not what I own,
but what you want to give me.
And what you want to give me is love,
unconditional, everlasting love.
Amen.”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen,
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest” .
Matt 11:28
Trusting God is a hard place to be but ask yourself if doing it your way has worked out as planned and if not what do you have to lose to try it His way?
