For Relationship

This day I pray for relationship.  I pray for the strength to give way so that others may speak salvation into my ear--those who have long since been escorted off this Montana land to places that amount to concentration camps.  I pray that I may be considered an ally for a people who must be dear to God's heart.  I cannot imagine how today.  But this day I pray for relationship.  I pray that I might have the courage to give up privilege and listen.  I also pray that I might have courage to use privilege to pave a way where I can.  I have long felt this pull on my heart--not the well-meaning, lily-livered liberal do-gooder--but the deep resonant man of faith who shows up every once in a while in my life to actually accompany, walk beside, and sacrifice my status.  This day and every day I pray for relationship.  Amen.
