Lord, open my hands (Henri Nouwen)

Dear God, 

I so much want to be in control.
I want to be the master of my own destiny.
Still, I know that you are saying:
“Let me take you by the hand and lead you. 
Accept my love
and trust that where I will bring you,
the deepest desires of your heart will be fulfilled.” 

Lord, open my hands to receive your gift of love. 

 Amen.

 --Henri Nouwen
