Isaiah 61 as daily proclamation for our families and for us:<\/p>\n

Father in heaven
\nI believe in Jesus Christ,
\nand I am anointed
\nwith your Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

You have sent me,
\nto bring your good news of grace to the meek,
\nto heal broken hearted,
\nand to bandage wounded hearts.<\/p>\n

I speak freedom
\nto our families
\nand I set free,
\nthose who are bond to false bounds.
\nThey live,
\nas if they have never been in bondage.<\/p>\n

I confess and declare:
\nTheir acceptable year of mercy has begun.
\nJesus has seen their sufferings,
\nand HE comforts them
\nand sets them free
\nfrom their grief.<\/p>\n

I confess and declare,
\nthat our families
\nwear jewelery of gemstones
\nand wear beautiful clothes
\ninstead of the mourning veil.<\/p>\n

I confess and declare
\nthat they lay down their grief
\nbecause they are filled
\nwith joy of the Holy Spirit
\nso that everybody
\nidentifies it as
\nthe work of Christ.<\/p>\n

I proclaim peace of God to them,
\nthat their lives are deeply ingrained in Jesus Christ.
\nLike big trees with deep roots,
\nthey praise God from the depths.<\/p>\n

I confess and declare,
\nthat our families
\nbuild up the ancient ruins
\nand raise up
\nwhat has been destroyed for long.<\/p>\n

Yes, they even get help from strangers,
\npeople from other countries
\ncare for their riches
\nand they are their wine dressers.<\/p>\n

I confess and declare,
\nthat our families
\nlearn to know God personally
\nand serve HIM alone
\nwith all their hearts.<\/p>\n

I confess and declare
\nthat our families get back
\na double portion of gladness
\nfor what they had suffered.<\/p>\n

They even have a stake
\nin cultural treasures from other peoples,
\nand enjoy favor,
\ngoods from other countries.
\nAnd they are happy about their portion
\nwith supernatural joy.<\/p>\n

God is Jahwe, who loves justice
\nand hates robbery and wrong.
\nFaithfully HE recompenses our families.
\nHE makes a covenant with them, that lasts forever.
\nEveryone shall see, that our families
\nare blessed by Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

I rejoice in Jesus,
\nwho redeems us through his blood
\nand clothes us with his mantle of salvation.
\nHe decorates our head with a priestly crown
\nand adorns us preciously,
\nthat we are like a bride with her jewelery.<\/p>\n

Like the earth of a garden
\nbrings forth plants through its sprouts
\nso God brings forth in us
\nhis grace and righteousness,
\nthat through HIM we are praised and honored.<\/p>\n

AMEN<\/p>\n
