Scared of the Divine

by pirate misneach

Some have felt that wrestling with God, that anxiety and the feeling of futility because you are fighting something much bigger and better that yourself. This poem is about those feelings and the release of giving over to Him. Please read and review.

Scared of the divine

Scared of the divine.

Scared of what is mine,

Afraid that you'll take it from me,

For, it's what makes me feel content,

Makes me feel happy.

Superficial, superstitious, it's just ridiculous,

That I cannot let go,

And live in your control,

Let you take hold.

Afraid of who I'll become,

Fear of who I was,

Selfish, nervousness, ignorance is not bliss.

Depravation in need of salvation.

Frighten of the supernatural,

Wary of the substantial,

Heart is fleeting,

Mind is fleeing,

Oh Jesus, heal me with your bleeding.
