Old Testament Verse

Do not let the downtrodden be put to shame.
Psalm 74:21

New Testament Verse

The Canaanite woman knelt before Jesus, saying, "Lord, help me." He answered, "It is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs." She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that moment.
Matthew 15:25-28

Prayer

Lord, forgive my blinding privilege. Open my ears and eyes to recognize the Canaanite calls that surround me every day. You have blessed me with bounty. Help me to let go of my fear of letting go. Crumble my pride so that I will nourish the hungry. Amen.
