Day 19 of 40 Days of Prayer

Scripture: James 1:26-27

Meditation: Every day most of us see people who are less fortunate than ourselves. The homeless and unemployed stand on corners asking for help. There are many others who aren't so visible or dramatic; widows, orphans, the elderly, sick, and even those in prison. We are challenged in God's word to show our religion through compassion and kindness. God has always been the champion of the disenfranchised of society. Being a part of his family should move us to reach out to those who are on the 'outside' looking in.

Prayer: God you have always been the champion of the powerless, you have used your great power to lift up and protect us in our weakness, and we praise your name for it. Help us Father to show our devotion by imitating you in regards to those we meet who are truly in need.
