Prayer
(inspired by Isaiah 58:6)

“Is not this the fast that I choose...” (Isaiah 58:6)

Lord God, 
Instil in us a sense of your justice. 

May we never take for granted the food that we have, 
nor tell ourselves that hunger is not our problem. 

Help us to use the voices that we have 
to speak up against the many injustices 
that make hunger an ever-present problem. 
Amen
