I can’t.
How could You ask such a thing?
I’m no one special.
I’m not gifted.
I’m completely unqualified!
How could You ever use me?
My child,
Do you love Me?
Yes, Lord,
I do love You.
Child,
What is that in your hand?
Lord?
It’s just a pen I was using.
Give me your hand,
Dear one,
I’ll keep My hand over yours.
Allow Me to guide your hand
As I write what I want written.
You don’t need to be special.
You don’t need to be gifted.
You need only to yield your heart and your hand,
I will do the rest.
For when you are weak
Then I Am strong.
My grace is sufficient,
You need only to yield to Me.
Call on Me
And I will show you great and wondrous things.
Draw near to Me
And I will draw near to You.
I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Oh, Lord.
Here is my heart,
My hand, and my pen.
They are Yours.
Do with them as You wish.
For I am Your child,
And a sheep in Your pasture.
Cover me with Your pinions,
Hide me in the shelter of Your wings.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And sustain me with a willing spirit.
For when I am weak
Then You are strong.
Your grace is sufficient for me.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord
For He is great and greatly to be praised.
Here am I, Lord,
Yielded and still.
Hide my hand within Yours.
Mold me and make me as You will,
While I am waiting,
Write what You will through my pen.
I’m yielded
And still.

I thought the first half was stronger and more original than the second half...would love to read more. That part was intensely personal.
