Favorite Prayer by Henri J.M. Nouwen


“Dear God,
I am so afraid to open my clenched fists!
Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to?
Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands?
Please help me to gradually open my hands
and to discover that I am not what I own,
but what you want to give me.” 
 
Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Only Necessary Thing: Living a Prayerful Life
