Letting Go, Trusting You

Everything feels like it’s right,
There’s no reason to take flight,
Yet inside, it’s not quite right,
Still feels heavy, not quite light.

I said “yes,” or so I thought,
But something keeps me standing still.
I want to give You all I’ve got,
Yet part of me resists Your will.

You see me trying to let go,
But there is still something below,
A weight I can’t quite shake,
A chain I have yet to break.

Forgive me, Lord,
For holding back my soul.
This fear is like a rope;
It is tied tight, out of control.

But nothing is too hard for You.
In weakness, You make me strong.
In sadness, You bring comfort;
In You, I belong.

So I’ll release this lingering fear,
Though the path ahead’s not always clear.
Your plans remain above my own;
In You, my trust is fully grown.

You provide, sustain, and heal.
You fill the gaps I try to conceal.
You called, You chose despite my doubt;
Who am I to shut You out?

So here I am; I trust You, for real.
Lead me, Lord, and shape my will.
I long for more of only You,
More of You in all I do.

Dear Mhiz, offering up your surrender can be the hardest choice to make and your beautiful poem captures this struggle and resolution with poetic finesse. Your last stanza brings it all full circle in a wondrous and gratifying way. Your poem is a splendid spiritual journey. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
