The world is a very unfair place. In what ways am I a part of the problem?
My Prayer:
May I face my own selfishness and become more able to care about justice for all, I pray.
Scriptural Touchstone:
Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute. Psalm 82:3 (NRSV)
God has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does God require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
Invitation To Pray:
Are you willing to pray and work for justice? If so, what prayers are emerging in your body, mind, heart, and imagination? Pray them now.
