Prayer for the Week: Righteous and Holy God, We come before You this week, in awe of Your justice and humbled by Your perfect ways. You are a God who loves deeply and yet judges rightly. Help us to hold both Your love and justice in our hearts as we seek to know You more. Thank You for being a just God who stands for truth, protects the oppressed, and opposes evil. When we see injustice in the world, help us not to lose hope but to trust that You will one day set all things right. Teach us to be agents of Your justice, working to bring fairness, mercy, and compassion to those who suffer around us. Lord, we confess that there are times when we have failed to live out Your justice in our own lives. Forgive us when we have acted unjustly toward others or turned a blind eye to those in need. Help us to repent and seek Your forgiveness, trusting that Your mercy and justice meet at the cross. As we go through this week, give us the courage to stand for what is right, even when it’s difficult. May Your Spirit lead us to be people who reflect Your justice in our words, our actions, and our relationships. Let our lives be a testimony to Your goodness, as we seek to love and serve others in truth and grace. When we feel discouraged by the brokenness of the world, remind us that Your justice is perfect and will prevail. Help us to trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You see all and are working all things for good. In Your perfect balance of justice and mercy, guide us, Lord, and make us instruments of Your peace. In Jesus' name, Amen.
