“From the fear of being asked to
give more than I have, Deliver me Jesus.”
This prayer is taken from a
litany written by the Sisters of life (sistersoflife.org). I’m sure there are at least a few stanzas in
it that each of us can connect with.
They all refer to trusting Jesus, and letting Him be, and act in our
lives.
The
particular line I referred to stands out for me in a personal way. It is my call to be more voluntarily
vulnerable with Jesus, when life keeps trying to pull me down. I remember as a high schooler at a youth
group kick-off, someone was challenged to stand on a chair and fall BACKWARDS
into the interwoven arms of two rows of teenagers, all of them ready to catch
her. How do you think she felt about
that?! Now, that person was definitely not
me, but I still see how the purpose of the activity was to indicate how much we
trust Jesus.
Do you
trust Him enough, to let Him catch me?
