Prayer
for a Service of Foot Washing
(inspired by John 13:1-17)
“Unless
I wash you
you
have no share with me.”
If
only it were otherwise.
If
only I could present my credentials,
show
my record of service,
get
some kind of unlimited pass.
In
every area of my life
I
am more used
to
proving how adequate I am,
presenting
a polished image,
gaining
certain privileges.
But
you, Lord,
you
bring me down
to
where you are kneeling,
and
take hold
of
the feet I prefer to hide.
We
are here together,
near
the ground,
and
in this humble position
I
am touched by you
and
made clean.
We
are here together,
near
the ground,
and

I
am touched by you
and
made clean.
