Lord,
i pray to You
with a heavy heart
and brittle bones
please let confidence
unfold like flowers
that sprout between my ribs
please take the butterflies
out of my stomach
because they crowd it
and make me sick
please fill my mind with the knowledge
that Your love is stronger than
all of the hate that fills the earth
please inscribe on my flesh
that You have a perfect plan for me,
and with You i can conquer
all of my doubts, all of my worries
please never let me forget
what You have done for me
please hold my hand
while on this wearisome journey
and allow me to find life in You

Lord,

with a heavy heart
and brittle bones
please let confidence

that sprout between my ribs
please take the butterflies
out of my stomach
because they crowd it
and make me sick
please fill my mind with the knowledge
that Your love is stronger than
all of the hate that fills the earth
please inscribe on my flesh
that You have a perfect plan for me,
and with You i can conquer
all of my doubts, all of my worries
please never let me forget
what You have done for me
please hold my hand
while on this wearisome journey
and allow me to find life in You
