Sometimes I build this wall around myself;
I try to build it tall and strong ---
A wall of protection from fear,
Where I fell like I will be safe and comfortable.
'Keep me here and don't change anything!' I say.
I lock the doors with elaborate keys and gigantic locks ---
The most intelligent of locksmiths could not crack them.
I build this wall and this space around my heart ---
around my soul. And sometimes,
It is so elaborate and so big,
That I lose myself inside.
But You, in Your omnipotence, know all of this,
And You can come through or dissolve all this
in an instant.
You know my heart.
You know my soul ---
Better than I do.
And though I try to hide from You ---
To hide from myself, too ---
You are always with me and
Always know me.
Help me take down these walls and
Open myself to You.
Help me be without barriers from You always.
For I cannot keep You away from me,
But I can choose to keep myself from You.
