BECOMING THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS
In their book, Common Prayer: A liturgy for ordinary radicals,* the authors suggest, at the end of each month, a list of practical steps we can take to embody our prayers. This year, on the first of each month, I will offer several of their suggestions, and perhaps occasionally add a few of my own. I would love to hear how you put some of these into practice?
1 Try to go a whole week without spending any money.
2 Attempt to repair something that is broken. Appreciate the people who repair things for you on a regular basis.
3 Defy complacency and flout despair. Believe that you can do something, right now, right here – even if you take only a baby step.
*Authors are Shane Claiborne, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, and Enuma Okoro.
