For Victims of Injustice
Defender of the Helpless,
Come to the defense of those who are victims of injustice. Your Word reveals your heart for those who are mistreated, discriminated against, taken advantage of, or unjustly overlooked. When we witness these cruelties, we too easily turn a blind eye to them or even justify them. Forgive us for our dismissiveness when others need an advocate to intervene on their behalf, and we do nothing. Lead us to speak up and defend victims, coming to their aid in whatever manner we’re able. May we be a reflection of you, who came to rescue us when we were helpless victims of our own sinful circumstances. You helped us when we couldn’t help ourselves. Let us do the same for others whenever possible.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
