Here’s a beautiful prayer reflection on Ephesians 2: 20-22. It was written by Thom Shuman.
House Building
“We are his house,
built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets….”
Ephesians 2:20
me -
a dwelling place for God?
my roof
leaks
with wayward
and wanton thoughts . . .
my windows
look out on a world
lusting for more
and caring for less;
if any dare peek in,
they will see the same hungers . . .
my furnace
is filled
with the ashes
of dusty dreams
and hapless hopes . . .
my foundation
cracks
under the weight of loneliness,
ravaged
by the storms of sadness.
i would build you
a house,
my God;
rebuild me
instead.
Amen.
