return, Word,
bring, too, the air of life
unforgotten
by this quill
uncertain
of what is noteworthy
to ink
under the guise of creation
where i
flick syllables left and right
searching for the ones
you anointed for this time
of true repentance
of guided healing.
I confess my broken heart, Lord.
I confess my longing to be held.
I confess my heart is yours.
I confess my life is yours.
I confess my time is yours to give and take.
I confess my thoughts are misguided at best.
I confess YOU are Eternal, Vast, Mysterious & Majestic.
I confess YOU are full of Wisdom, Grace & Love.
I confess YOU have saved me from all evil.
I confess I forget these things from time to time…although I don’t mean to.
I confess I don’t speak up as often as you prompt me because I am afraid of humans.
(I am trying to get better about it.)
I confess it is harder for me to change than I let on, that letting go and trusting is harder than I pretend.
I confess to being hurt, and not seeking to reconcile it properly, and holding bitterness within my heart…separating US from one another in my heart…but not in reality…as Jesus has mended all things.
I confess that because of these things, it is hard to know how to handle myself. And, because I don’t trust YOU enough, or myself, I have a hard time trusting others.
Dear God, may I continue to step towards YOU, even when I am afraid.
