Day 12 - February 25

Scripture Reading

Isaiah 58:6-7 (NLT)

6 “No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned;

lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free,

and remove the chains that bind people.

7 Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless.

Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.

Prayer Focus

For God’s heart for the hurting, broken, and needy.

1 Give your love of justice to the king, O God, and righteousness to the king’s son.

2 Help him judge your people in the right way; let the poor always be treated fairly.

3 May the mountains yield prosperity for all, and may the hills be fruitful.

4 Help him to defend the poor, to rescue the children of the needy, and to crush their oppressors.

5 May they fear you as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains in the sky.

Yes, forever!

~ Psalm 72:1-5
