They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me’ (Matthew 25:44-45; NIV).
You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realise that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked (Revelation 3:17; NIV).
Lord,
How can I pray for myself,
When others are hungry,
Thirsty,
Lonely,
Naked,
Sick,
And in prison?
Instead,
I pray for all humanity –
For every one of us is wretched,
Pitiful,
Poor,
Blind,
And naked
Before you.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
