Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come before You today with an open heart, seeking Your guidance and strength. Lord, in a world that often seems unjust and unfair, I ask for Your divine intervention. Grant me the courage to stand up for what is right and the wisdom to discern fair from unjust. Help me to see beyond my own circumstances and reach out to those who are suffering from injustice.
Lord, fill my heart with Your love and compassion, so that I may be an instrument of Your justice and fairness in the world. Teach me to uphold the values of integrity and righteousness in all that I do. Give me the courage to speak out against injustice and the strength to support those who are oppressed.
Father, I pray for our leaders and those in positions of power, that they may be guided by Your wisdom and act with fairness and justice. Let their decisions reflect Your will, and may they work towards creating a world where everyone is treated with equality and respect.
Thank You, Lord, for Your unwavering love and guidance. I trust in Your justice and believe in Your fairness. In Your precious name, I pray.
Amen.
