Like a woman without God

When I am tempted to doubt myself
And question my gifts and experience,
Remind me, GOD- of all that I know,
And those things that I don’t know
That I Know,
Remind me, who I am, and whose I am
Even when I hide behind my piety
To avoid doing what must be done
And use You as an excuse for indecision,
For lack of action, for silencing myself.
Love me enough to lift the lid off my basket,
And order me to stop crouching in the dark.

Like a Woman without a GOD

i like that ending 'like a woman withoutt God" makes me think of the days i forget and then find myself sowing fig leaves to hide from his searching gaze, when i realise that i am a woman 'always with God' man!

I am going through something similar and I just want to remember not to fear because I have a God.
Thanx for reminding me:)
