Open my hands (Henri Nouwen)

  Dear God, 
I am so afraid to open my clenched fists!  
Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold onto? 
Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands? 
Please help me to gradually open my hands 
and to discover that I am not what I own, 
but what you want to give me. 
--Henri Nouwen,  
The Only Necessary Thing:
Living a Prayerful Life
