Isaiah 49 Prayer for Brazil

Listen, O coastlands, to Me

I have heard you, to restore  

That the prisoner may go forth, and those who are in darkness

They shall neither hunger nor thirst

For He who has mercy on them will lead them

Even by the springs of water, He will guide them

For the Lord, He’s comforted His people

And will have mercy on His afflicted

Can a woman forget her nursing child

And not have compassion on the son of her womb?

Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you

See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands

Lift up your eyes, look around and see

Then you will say in your heart

Who has begotten these for me since I have lost my children

And am desolate, a captive

Kings shall be your foster fathers

And their queens, your nursing mothers

Then you will know that I am the Lord

For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.

For I will contend with him who contends with you

And I will save your children

That all will know

I, the Lord, am your Savior and your Redeemer
