Hope Lives (Week Four)

I just read this prayer on one of the blogs I read. Considering our focus of the week is on the power and necessity of prayer, I thought it a fitting piece to our arsenal….

Dear God,
I am so afraid to open my clench fists! Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to? Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands? Please help me to gradually open my hands and to discover that I am not what I own, but what you want to give me. And what you want to give me is love – unconditional, everlasting love. Amen.
