Meditation by way of Confession

Oh Lord, I confess that I seek safety more than I seek you.

I seek to hide.

Unseen, I can not be laughed at.

Unheard, I can not be mocked.

Untouchable, I can not be struck.

My wall is nothing to you - you can touch, see, and know me.

My wall is everything to me.

Give me faith to stand outside my wall - vulnerable, weak, threatened - knowing that you are my comfort and my defense, not my wall.
