An Impossible Prayer To Be Prayed In USA

PRAYER FOR FELLOWSHIP IN THE CHURCH
Righteous God

You have taught us that the poor shall have your kingdom,

and that the gentle-minded shall inherit earth

keep the church poor enough to preach to the poor people

and humble enough to walk with the despise

never weight us down with property or accumulated funds

save your church from vain display or lavish comforts,

so that we might travel light

and move through the world

showing your generous love made know

in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen
