Today's Focus: Justice
October 6, 2012
Suggested Scriptural References:
Thou
shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a
gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words
of the righteous. That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. ~Deuteronomy 16:19-20
Ye shall not respect
persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great;
ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's:
and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will
hear it. ~Deuteronomy 1:17
For there is no respect of persons with God. ~Romans 2:11
The suggested prayers below are a guideline to follow.
Suggested Prayers:
We ask for leaders, a judicial system and judges who adhere to
the original intent of our founding documents and their many connections
to Biblical principles.
We pray for a true understanding of justice according to Your Word.
We pray for Your protection from attempts to redefine justice for political gain.
We ask You to convict, transform and protect those who are out of Your will. We ask You to encourage, strengthen and protect those who honor and follow You.
We ask You for judges who will follow constitutional principles rather than ruling according to pre-chosen outcomes or relying on international law.
We pray that courts will recognize parents’ fundamental rights to the care, custody and control of their children.
We ask for Your guidance for accurate rulings over first amendment issues, and an awareness in our country that the words, “separation of church and state” are found nowhere in any one of our founding documents. We ask for a reversal of rulings which have inaccurately established “separation” as a Constitutional principle.
In the Name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray.
