Zechariah 7:8-10 - “And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.”  There are many needs that require our prayers and actions outside of our immediate families (i.e. fellow church families, bus children/their families, coworkers, extended family, etc.).  God through Zechariah let the Israelites know why they were in captivity and why their prayers were not being answered.  Let us remember Galatians 6: 10  “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”  - Clifford Myers
