You,
I am in the dark, reaching out my hand for You.
I have been stripped of anything else I could claim to rely on. You take my
hand and lead me. I trust that You know the way, so why am I still so filled
with doubt?
Please, light this path that I might see
ahead, even for a step. I am holding my breath, always expecting to trip and
fall. I am exhausted from tensing up my body for so long, bracing for impact.
Any minute now I am sure to stub my toe or walk into a wall.
Yet, You hold me by the hand and lead me
through this darkness so thick that only your eyes could pierce through it. You
will lead me into an open field of light, and I will breathe again, I will
relax again. May I never be so foolish as to let go of Your hand, oh Lord my
helper.
