December 4, 2020 Prayer - Justice in the Judicial

God,

We thank you that you are a God of Justice who knows all, sees all, and weighs it on your scales of justice.  We thank you for your Word which teaches us how to interact with each other.  And we pray your Spirit's guidance would be on every lawyer, judge, and other worker in our nation's judicial systems.  From the local law clerk up through the U.S. Supreme Court, may each person work so the cause of truth, justice, and humanity shall in no way suffer at their hands.  In Christ's name we pray, Amen. 

"May the Almighty grant that the cause of truth, justice, and humanity shall in no wise suffer at my hands." - Abraham Lincoln
