Dependence
Strength not my own.
I am a hidden seed, covered by earth I did not choose, yet to be nourished by rain I cannot summon, with nought to do but wait for growth.
What I grow into and become may be as mighty as an oak. Would that strength then be mine?
❖
Let me accept and rejoice in my dependence on you, Lord, here under the earth.
Consider:
Can I live fully dependent?
