Dear God
You called to me and I came.
Upon Your bidding I dropped my nets and followed you.
Here upon the streets of our city you ask of me.
A favor you require of me among our people.
The choice weighs in my mind despite my clear conscience.
Your request is what I want to do but my peers are watching, LORD
What I choose to do will be judged by all here.
I will be placed under scrutiny by those we so disagree with.
The weight of their glances are heavy upon my shoulders, but so is Your hand.
I buckle under what should be such an easy choice.
LORD, for you I will give anything because for me you gave everything.
Ask of me and I will do it for I asked not of You and You gave.
Amen
