answering our askings

Lord God,

grant us to see that

even as the Word must become flesh,

the prayer must become physical:

grant our prayers

eyes to see the invisible,

ears to hear the inaudible,

lips to voice the unspeakable,

hands to clutch the intangible.

Then to complete the body of yearning,

equip our prayers with

legs to step out on faith,

legs to progress one step at a time,

legs to walk with our Savior

in answering our very own askings.

In the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Cecil L. Murray, 1929 – , African American Pastor and Ethicist

Acts 2:42-45

And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship,

to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

And awe came upon every soul,

and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.

And all who believed were together and had all things in common.

And they were selling their possessions and belongings

and distributing the proceeds to all,

as any had need.
