We are incapable of “opening our hands” to receive what God has promised to give for fear that we might lose what we think we have grasped. And so we pray with Jeremy Taylor that God would “open our hands for us. And [that he would] not only open [our] hand, but also open [our] mouth. And not only [our] mouth, but [our] heart also.” We are dependent upon divine action. You have called me to open my hand so that You can fill it. But I would not open my hand.

This article is part of the How to Pray series. Prayer for Open HandsYou have called me to open my hand so that You can fill it. But I would not open my hand. I held the world tightly and kept my hand shut. I would not let it go. But, please God, open my hand for me. And do not only open my hand, but also open my mouth. And not only my mouth, but my heart also. Grant that I may know nothing but You, that I may count everything as loss compared to You, and that I may strive to be conformed to You.
