Prayer--of Doubt; of Love
Running from the fears that pursue me
I pant as fear pours from my pores
Leaping, hurdling, skirting the edges . . .
Constantly moving in hope to evade those who wish me harm
Their words assault my senses, my confidence, my being
Am I who they say I am?
Am I a person of no worth?
Am I worthy of love?
I pause . . . resting . . . listening for their disparagement
All I hear around me is the sound of my own fear
I hear silence between my gasps for breath
Slowly, ever slowly the quiet grows
Glancing from place to place I fear the accusers
While quiet slowly wraps me in loving arms
Calming in the silence a quiet voice resonates
Its strength and love flows within me
I still myself and listen
You are my child . . . I created you for love, for good
Love as I love you . . . touch others in my love
Stand with the least . . . stand with the lost . . . stand with all
Embody my love . . . embody my grace . . . embody my heart
Peace filled my soul
Fear faded
I turned and faced the accusers . . .
And loved them
