You Shall Prevail

Gosh, how much more off me are You going to take?
This pruning process has been thorough, what are You going to make?
I don't understand how I can grow better and stronger after all this.
You're touching areas I thought were okay, demanding that nothing is missed.
To look at me, anyone would say that I am not the same.
No longer that unrestrained tree, my branches have been tamed. 
My grip and my reach is not as far as it used to be.
And those leaves that I considered foliage were a hindrance to me.
Well here I am appearing lonely and bare,
I am out of my comfort zone, yet I will trust in Your care.
Lord, You know what You're doing, and I don't quite understand.
Although this pruning process is tough, I will submit to Your plan.
