Today we pray for our judicial system and all those who serve as judges, attorneys and staff. Lord, you are a God of justice, whose very character is perfectly good, right and just. You extend your character into creation, delighting in a well-ordered society where the rule of law is fairly established and applied to all. Your Word reminds us of your heart for the poor and oppressed, who often are more vulnerable because of their relative lack of resources and influence, and how we are called to be their advocates. We pray for your image bearers who serve in the justice system, that they may equally apply the law regardless of the person’s wealth, identity or status. May you give them the wisdom of Solomon as they rule and represent, especially in situations where insight and time are necessarily finite. And may they flourish as they connect more closely to you, others, themselves and your creation. Amen.
