Father, Help Me to Give My Whole Self to You Now

Father, You tell me You are not leaving me. You tell me You will give me strength. You tell me You will wait here with me, not turning away. You tell me You will stay at my side. 

You tell me You will give me what I need. You tell me I am the one You’ve come for.

You tell me that You are not leaving me (no matter what I do or say or believe). And You say You will stay here with me as long as it takes for me to trust You. You tell me You have so much more for me in store. 

So, Father, help me to give my whole self to You now. I can sense I am holding back from You a bit, reticent to be like a child who is okay with not having all the answers. I know You are good. I know You have everything under control. 

So, right now, Father, I pause and hold out my hands, holding them open. In my hands are what I’ve been holding and not trusting You with. Forgive me. Help me to grasp your hand now and go with you, out that open door.

Show me what is outside the door. Guide me. One step. Help me take one step more.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
