Standing, falling, sitting, standing and falling

Lord, I wish I could see you.
I wish I could talk to you - face to face - and somehow gage your thoughts.
I am so scared to love and to hope - I am scared to get hurt.
I wish I could just focus on the things of the life hereafter,
but I keep coming back to the now.
Lord, I believe that you called us to be your body - now.
I believe that your kingdom comes now.
The problem is, living on earth, I can't see you.
I also have wants and needs and longings here and now.
Lord, please help me to stand.
Please help me to take one step at a time.
Please hold my hand.
Do not leave me, please do not forsake me.
Lord, help my unbelief!
Help me to deal with my fears and anxieties.
I beg this in Jesus' Name.
Amen
