Prayers

Prayers for injustice and standing firm

For when you're wronged, or called to stand for what's right.

  1. Treated unfairly

    Lord, what happened to me wasn't fair, and I can't make it right on my own.

  2. Facing a legal battle

    Lord, I'm caught up in a legal process I don't fully understand, and so much depends on how it goes.

    Proverbs 29:26 · Exodus 14:14 · Psalm 37:5-6 · Luke 12:11-12 · Isaiah 54:17 · Matthew 5:25 · Romans 12:18 · James 1:5 · Psalm 20:7 · Isaiah 41:10

  3. Standing up for what's right

    God, I know what the right thing is, and doing it could cost me.

  4. Mocked or pressured for my faith

    Jesus, people are laughing at what I believe, and some are making it costly.
