Homeless womans prayer
The Homeless Woman’s Poem
A homeless woman once approached a preacher for help, but because he was
busy and helpless, he turned her away and offered to pray for her instead.
The homeless woman, it is said, wrote this poem as a response too that
insensitive minister:
"I was hungry, and you formed a humanities group to discuss my hunger. I
was imprisoned, and you crept off quietly to my chapel and prayed for my
release. I was naked, and in your mind you debated the morality of my
appearance. I was sick, and you knelt and thanked God for your health. I
was homeless, and you preached to me the spiritual shelter of the love of
God. I was lonely, and you left me alone to pray for me. You seem so holy,
so close to God but I am still very hungry - and lonely - and cold."
