Daily CLC Prayer verse

“Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways, as if they were a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the judgment of their God; they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God. ‘Why have we fasted, and you see it not? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?’ Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure, and oppress all your workers. Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight and to hit with a wicked fist. Fasting like yours this day will not make your voice to be heard on high.

“Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58:2-4, 6-8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,This stands out because the Lord says, “Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?” Humanity has problems that need to be solved. When we look to the world to solve oppression, it creates more oppression and sorrows. However, when we look to God and ask Him to give us wisdom and discernment, “healing shall spring up speedily”. Please pray that we and our friends ask the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom and discernment during these trying times. Please pray for leaders in our country to seek God for the answers and not man.
