I guess the first step
To going through a door
Is to believe
There is something there
On the other side of the door
That is different from this side of my world
Something worth asking about
And something worth taking action
Taking the time to walk through
Leaving behind all that I know
For a few moments
Or for a long time
Leaving behind all
That I think keeps me safe
And comfortable

To walk through that boundary
That separates me
From that which
I believe in
That which I have
Assurance in
That which I have
Confidence in
That which,
When I give it a chance,
Blesses me with
Peace
Joy
Love
Patience
And the fruit of the
Holy Spirit of Jesus

Will I take another chance today?
Will I have the faith
To walk towards prayer?

A door that shifts
My perspective
My mountains
My probabilities?

A door that seems
So far
Too far
For my wretched soul
A door that appears
Too good
Too perfect
For my broken self
A door that I know
Holds the key
To the problems
On this threshold

I wonder
Can I pray again
To You, Jesus?
Even when I feel unworthy?
Can I walk through that door?

Can I approach
Your Throne, oh God?
Through this door
That you have left open
That you welcome me through?

Can you help me
Dissolve this boundary
This wall
That I’ve set up against
Your love? Your mercy?
Your forgiveness that
I cannot fathom
And therefore shut out?

Can you help me oh God?
Get through this doorstep
To feel Your presence?
To ask for healing?
To ask for a renewal?

God I want to walk through
This door
And spend time with You
At this palace
Beyond this door
