Do I have courage to stand alone, under bright noon, and proclaim my devotion to you?
When in discourse, do I have courage to speak truth to those who see it not?
Am I ready for what will come, when the world falls away from you and a small few of us are left to carry on your will?
What if none of this comes to pass, and you are with me all along? Am I ready, even, for that?
Lord, let me be ready for you.
(Letter #4033)
