take this

You have presented me with great challenges that brought great opportunity. Covered head-to-toe in the things I cannot let go. I revel in Your mercy and I seek Your grace. I let my eyes wander for a season, but they always meet Yours again. I watch my feet as they walk their own path. You call my name and I freeze in my tracks, suddenly recognizing what has become of me. My feeling of Your absentness was skewed. When You were right behind me, watching my every step. So, I come to You now with a heavy heart and a strong plea. Lord, take these burdens away from me.
