“God’s time is always near. He set the North Star in the heavens; He gave me the strength in my limbs, He meant that I should be free.” – Harriet Tubman (c. 1822-1913), Prophetic Witness Harriet Tubman was born a slave in Maryland and from an early age was subjected to regular, cruel beatings and whippings from slaveholders. As a teenager, she began receiving visions and strange dreams. She attributed these revelations to God, believing that she was being raised up by God as a liberator of His people. Sustained by her faith, she escaped slavery and fled to Canada at age 24. She then made 19 heroic trips back to Maryland, personally smuggling over 70 slaves to freedom (some accounts estimate as many as 300 slaves were liberated). Tubman smuggled so many to freedom, abolitionists called her the “conductor of the Underground Railroad.” During the Civil War, she served as a nurse, scout, spy, and military leader, liberating over 700 slaves. In her later years, she became an advocate for the rights and dignity of women and the elderly and devotedly supported the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.Almighty and everlasting God, you kindled the flame of your love in the heart of your servant Harriet Tubman to manifest your compassion and mercy to the poor and the persecuted: Grant to us, your humble servants, a like faith and power of love, that we who give thanks for her righteous zeal may profit by her example; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
