Prayer for justice

 

A Prayer for Judgment Day

We have prayed for repentance, but those prayers have gone unanswered.
Now, as much as it grieves us to do so, we pray for Judgment in this situation.

We know that You know the end from the beginning, and we only want Your will. If it is time for Judgment, Lord, may it come swiftly.
If, however, there is still room for repentance then we ask that You grant a space for that repentance.

Either way, God, let us trust You in all things.

Amen.

The Prayer for Justice

WO LORD, hear my plea for justice. Listen to my cry for help.
Pay attention to my prayer, for it comes from an honest heart.

Help us to love our neighbors more than we love ourselves, respecting differences,
and embracing our commonalities to find common ground.

Break our hearts for the things that break yours.
Help us to be your echoes of mercy and whispers of love.

Use our hands to extend help to those who are in need of it.
Guide our hearts to an everlasting peace.

Help us to realize that an aching world is waiting for us, your followers,
to be instruments of justice, and stewards of Your Word.

In Your name we pray.

Amen.

A Prayer for Social Justice And Peace

Almighty and eternal God, may your grace enkindle in all of us a love for the
many unfortunate people whom poverty and misery reduce to a condition of life unworthy of human beings.

Rouse in the hearts of those who call you Father a hunger and thirst for social justice and for fraternal charity in deeds and in truth.
Grant, oh Lord, peace in our days; peace to our country, and peace among nations.

Amen.

A Prayer for Justice In Court

Lord God, Redeemer of all men, I come before you today to ask for justice in court. As the Scriptures say,
God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every matter and for every work.

It is my request that your judgment be manifest in court,
though men are fallible, through You justice can be had.

Thank you Lord Jesus, and hear my prayer.

Amen.

Teach Me Knowledge and Good Judgment

Do good to your servant
according to your word, Lord.

Teach me knowledge and good judgment,
for I trust your commands.

Before I was afflicted I went astray,
but now I obey your word.

You are good, and what you do is good;
teach me your decrees.
