To be willing

my desire, my prayer
to be willing, humble
to submit my life to God
living as I am called
to serve with a glad heart
trusting in the Lord
knowing He will provide
all that I need
as I go out
into His world

inspired by the 7th stanza of the poem, “The Ponds”,
by Mary Oliver (the one I read, the one chosen for me by God)
