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."
