Prayer of a Bruised Reed

Let me never be so comfy-That Your lap isn’t a refuge
Let be never be so settled -That I won’t run off with You
Let me never be so confident-That I charge on without You
Let me never be so scared-That I dare not follow You
Let me never be so down -That I can’t see Your hopeful smile
Let me never feel so much affection-That my need for You is numbed
Let me never be so broken-That I don’t let You heal me
Let me never be so whole -That I won’t let you satisfy
Let me never be so wilted-That I can’t absorb your drink
Let me never be so flaming-That I look not to Your light
Let me never be so dead -That I forget Your gift of life
Let me never live so much-That I forget the gift in death
Let me never be so sensible-That I forget Your dream
Let me never be so steady-That I don’t feel Your pulse
Let me never be so intense -That I forget your faithfulness
Let me never be so happy-That I don’t need Your joy
Let me never be so calm-That You aren’t my Prince of Peace
Let me never be so much at home-That I don’t miss Your courts
Let me never be so able-That I don’t depend on You
Let me never feel so guilty-That I don’t run to You in shame
Let me never be so down trodden-That I forget You died for me
Let me never be so satisfied-That I don’t yearn for You
Let me never be so loved- That I forget Your love’s the sweetest
Never give me what I ask for-If it will take me from You, Lord
