Teach me, Lord,
to walk on the path You choose for me,
and not be blinded by false light beams  
beckoning me astray, divert me
from the journey to Your dwellings.

I know You hear my cry
while I tarry in aimless ramblings
losing sight of You often
casting not a glance at those who weep,
like a stone, I am hard and cold.

Wrap me in Your embrace,
make me be a child who runs eagerly
across a sunlit meadow, its wide expanse
of green like Your arms stretching
to hold me close lest I lose my way.

Teach me, Lord,
to be malleable and yielding
in Your hands, obeying Your commands,
take that leap of faith in You,
to let go and let You take control of me.

A plea from the heart.  How inspiring and touching your lines are.
