I'm Afraid to Ask (A Prayer)

It's Sunday! Again I'd like to share a prayer by David A. Redding:

Give me the faith to listen to
You, O Lord.
For Your words may be high;
Give me courage
For Your words may be hard;
And the humility,
For they may be simple.
And give me love, for Your answer
May hurt.
So help me God.

(Before You Call I Will Answer, p. 127)
