Prayer: Teresa of Avila
It seemed impossible, my Lord, to abandon you so completely. And since I did forsake you so many times I cannot but fear. For when you withdrew a little from me, I fell to the ground. Although I abandoned you, you did not abandon me so completely as not to turn to raise me up by always holding out your hand to me.
You don't have a box for my reaction to this incredibly beautiful prayer - beautiful. Beautiful and so very, very true.. Thank you for sharing!
