Lord, I humbly pray for Your guidance. Grant me the wisdom to discern right from wrong and the courage to stand firm against injustice. May I reflect Your light in my actions, words, and thoughts.
Divine Savior, enable me to serve as an agent of justice. Stir within me a spirit of advocacy for those who are discriminated against, oppressed, and marginalized. May my life be a testimony of Your unfailing justice and love.
Father, I pray that Your justice will flow like a mighty river in our world. May leaders at every level uphold justice and equity in their policies and actions. Teach them, Lord, to understand that true leadership means serving, and serving means equally considering the needs of all people.
I ask these things in the mighty Name of Jesus, our ultimate example of just living. Amen.

Journal Prompts about Justice
1. Reflect on the concept of “justice” in the Bible, particularly in the book of Micah 6:8, which says, “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”. How does this shape your understanding and practice of justice?
2. What do you think it means when the Bible says in Isaiah 1:17 “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”? How can you apply this message in today’s society?
3. Proverbs 21:15 states, “When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.” Do you believe ‘justice brings joy’? Write about a personal experience regarding this concept.
4. The book of Psalms describes God as a judge who loves justice. Meditate on Psalm 37:28, which says, “For the LORD loves justice; he will not forsake his saints.” How does this depiction of God’s character affect your personal faith?
5. The Apostle Paul in Romans 12:19 said, “Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.” How do you interpret this verse in the context of justice and revenge?
6. Compare Leviticus 19:15’s instruction to judge your neighbor fairly and not show any favoritism to today’s judicial systems. How can these principles be applied in our relationships with others?
7. Amos 5:24 says, “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!”. What does this metaphor imply about the role and ubiquity of justice in our lives?
8. Matthew 7:12, often referred to as the Golden Rule states, “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” Reflect on how this principle contributes to the biblical concept of justice.
