It was a prayer I had written and delivered for the vigil held last June for the shooting that had happened at The Pulse in Orlando FL. Over the years, however, I had not imagined it to be literally true until recently.Ī few months ago, I put on my brown sports jacket and noticed a paper folded up in the breast pocket. He was asked to lead prayer at an interfaith gathering and responded saying he was not good at extemporaneous prayer but that “Douglas always has a prayer in his back pocket.” I always felt this was more than my colleague ‘passing the buck.’ It was a sincere compliment. So I carry a cross in my pocket Reminding no one but me That Jesus Christ is Lord of my life If only I will let Him be." Each one is 2" by 3.5" in size.When I was serving as an Associate Minister, the Senior Minister at that church once put me on the spot. Its also a daily reminder Of the peace and comfort I share With all who know my Master And give themselves to His care. It reminds me too, to be thankful For my blessings day by day And strive to serve him better In all that I do or say. When I put my hand in my pocket To Bring out a coin or key The cross is there to remind me Of the price he paid for me. It’s not for identification For all the world to see It’s simply an understanding Between my Savior and me. This little cross is not magic Nor is it a good luck charm It isn’t meant to protect me From every physical harm. Each prayer card has a glossy protective finish and says on front of card, "I carry a cross in my pocket A simple reminder to me Of the fact that I am a Christian No matter where I may be." Each card on the back says, "I carry a cross in my pocket A simple reminder to me Of the fact that I am a Christian No matter where I may be.
These go great with any cross pocket token.
