​What I’m interested in seeing you do is: sharing your food with the hungry,  inviting the homeless poor into your homes, putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad, being available to your own families.
Do this and the lights will turn on, and your lives will turn around at once. Your righteousness will pave your way. The God of glory will secure your passage. Then when you pray, God will answer. 
You’ll call out for help and I’ll say, ‘Here I am.’ - from Isaiah 58  (The Message Bible)
