Intercessory Prayer for Justice
Righteous God, I intercede for those who are suffering from injustice, oppression, or violence. I pray that You would defend their cause and vindicate their rights.
Lord, be their advocate and avenger, their shield and deliverer. May they see Your justice prevail and Your righteousness shine forth. May they find comfort in Your promises and hope in Your kingdom. May they not lose heart or give up, but trust in You who will judge the world with equity and righteousness. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
This prayer is based on Psalm 9:7-10, which proclaims that the Lord sits enthroned forever; He has established His throne for justice; He judges the world with righteousness; He judges the peoples with uprightness; the Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble; those who know His name put their trust in Him; He does not forsake those who seek Him.
