Daily Reading

    For he will deliver the needy who cry out,
    the afflicted who have no one to help.

    He will take pity on the weak and the needy
    and save the needy from death.

    He will rescue them from oppression and violence,
    for precious is their blood in his sight.

Daily Prayer

God we see the millions who suffer in this world, those who seem to have no one to help them. It is not in our power to save them all. Oh that you would tear open the heavens and come to us. Oh that you would bring your compassion and restoration to all those who are sick, and hurt, and suffering in great pain and trouble. May it be so.
