Day 13 of Fasting and Prayer: While we are humbly seeking the face of God, let us ask that He free us from every root of bitterness.

Isaiah 58:6-7 "Is it not rather the fast that I have chosen, to loosen the bands of wickedness, to loosen the burdens of oppression, and let the oppressed go free, and break every yoke? Is it not that you break your bread with the hungry, and the poor wandering shelters at home; that when you see the naked, cover him, and do not hide from your brother?
