This I Ask of You
I confess what I am.
I am not the person I have others
to think I am.
I am afraid to admit,
even to myself,
what lies in the depths of my soul.
But I cannot hide my true self from you.
You know me as I am,
and yet you love me.
Help me not to shrink
from self-pity.
Teach me to respect myself
for your sake.
Give me the courage to put my trust
in those who share my goals.
Raise me out of the paralysis of guilt
into the freedom and energy of others.
I, who through long habit, find forgivness
hard to accept,
I ask you to break my bondage
and set me free.
