A Plea For Justice

Psalm 82

1 God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: 

2 "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah 

3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. 

4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." 

5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 

6 I said, "You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; 

7 nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince." 

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations! 

Who God is...

He is the sovereign King over all. 

He is the good Judge of all.

He is the merciful Savior for all.

What We Do...

We plead for God’s justice to reign.

We anticipate God’s kingdom to come. 

We spread God’s salvation to the needy.

How We pray...

for the poor...

Pray for provision of food for the hungry and clean, safe drinking water for the thirsty. 

Pray for medical provision for children and adults suffering and dying of

preventable diseases.

Pray for refugees who have been separated from their homes due to natural

and moral disasters.

Pray for the church to give generously, sacrificially, and cheerfully to the poor.

for the orphan...

Pray for children and their parents in the foster care system.

Pray for children and their caregivers in orphanages.

Pray for foster care and adoptive families.

Pray for the church to show the love of the Father in heaven to the fatherless on earth.

for the enslaved...

Pray for victims...

For their strength and salvation

For their protection, freedom, and justice 

For their hope and healing

Pray for traffickers and customers...

For conviction, repentance, and salvation 

For criminal networks to be dismantled

For oppressors to be arrested and punished

l Pray for governments...

For corruption to cease

For implementation of just legislation 

For discernment in forming alliances

Pray for the church...

To awaken to this issue and to unite against injustice 

For advocates and laborers to emerge

To flee sexual immorality

for the persecuted...

Pray for persecuted believers...

That they would hold fast to the hope God gives

That they would know the depth of God’s love for them

That the Holy Spirit will strengthen them and their families 

For their boldness in sharing the gospel amidst persecution

Pray for persecutors...

That they would see Christ in the saints they are persecuting and be saved 

That they would be brought to justice

for the unreached...

For more laborers to go to them.

For open doors to share with them. 

For receptive hearts among them. 

For eternal salvation to come to them.
