Isaiah 61:1-3

New King James Version

The Good News of Salvation

61 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to ^[a]heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
² To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
³ To ^[b]console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”

Glorious Lord,

We bless you this morning. Father, so much of our country is in turmoil and unrest. Bring peace and rest to the hearts of your creations. Father God, we ask that you send out your heavenly forces to battle for the heart and soul of human beings. Fortify heaven’s holy army to fight the forces of darkness, strife, and confusion. Let us, your servants, remember that we cannot be silent. We do battle on our knees, in our prayer closets, and in our secret places, as we intercede in prayer to you. Hear our prayer, Lord, and remove the scales the enemy has places over the ears, eyes, and hearts of humans. We lift these prayers to you, in the power and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
