Their True Heart (poems; part 7)

Part 7: Take This From Me


Lord I need you in order to do this.
I need to know how to accept it.
How can I accept being invisible?
I can't take going two hours in a group without being seen.
How am I to do this?
I believe, Lord help my unbelief.
I can't do this without you.
Take this from me.
My desire to be known, loved, recognized,
has taken over my life.
I keep saying I give it up,
but then nearly right after
I am tested and I fail.
I end up feeling hurt when I don't get what I want.
But I'm too afraid to ask for what I want.
How am I to cut between my wants
and my deeper desires?
Or do my wants come from them to begin with?
Take this from me.
I am conflicted.
Is this my thorn?
Am I never to be rid of this?
Lord I need you.
Help me to surrender.
