Today we continue our partial fast to focus our attention and prayers on behalf of the world's poor. For more information on our invitation to join us in the subsistence diet of minimal amounts of rice, beans and tap water, please check out previous posts from this week. Be sure to check this blog each day for Scriptures and prayer suggestions.

Prayers for Tuesday, September 25th:

Luke 4:18-19

He has sent me...to release the oppressed,

• Pray for those who have no voice, who are unable to speak out against their oppressors.
• Pray for those who are held captive in slavery, including those who are trafficked for sex or forced labor.

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.

• Pray for Christians around the world to be united in love and charity, that those of us who have much would pour out blessings on those who have little.
