Carême 15: Fear Is Persistent
Why, Lord, do I fear
you will use my willingness to obey
as a weapon against me?
as a way to play with me?
-----You are not capricious.
You are love.
You are good.
Help my heart believe you.
(Madeleine L'Engle's poem "Sarah: Before Mount Moriah" found in A Cry Like a Bell and The Ordering of Love: The New & Collected Poems of Madeleine L'Engle)
