~ ~ This week's scripture for Prayer & Fasting
This week's scripture for prayer & fasting comes from Isaiah 61:1-3,10-11
1) The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me
to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captvies, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2) To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all that mourn;
3) To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil
of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might
be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He might be glorified.
10) I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath
clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of
righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth
herself with her jewels.
11) For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that
are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to
spring forth before all the nations.

The scripture talks about good news for the oppressed, brokenhearted, and those that are bound.
It goes on to speak about putting on the "Garment of Praise" for heaviness. Rejoice in the Lord as
He has already provided us with the "Robe of Righteousness" (Salvation). Psalms 30 tells us that
weeping may endure for a night.......oh, but joy cometh in the morning!
