Heavenly Father,

We come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your divine justice and mercy. “For the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him” (Isaiah 30:18). Expose the works of darkness, O Lord, and bring to light every hidden thing. “For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known” (Luke 12:2).

To those who seek peace, grant them refuge in the storm. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee” (Isaiah 26:3). Let Your Spirit calm every troubled heart and guide the weary to still waters.

We ask for strength in these trying times. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13). When our hearts faint, be our portion forever. “God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever” (Psalm 73:26).

Grant us courage to stand in truth. “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not… for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee” (Deuteronomy 31:6). Let us not be shaken, but bold as lions in righteousness.

And Lord, pour out wisdom from above. “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God… and it shall be given him” (James 1:5). Guide our leaders, our communities, and our hearts to walk in Your will.

Let Your will be done, O God—on earth as it is in heaven. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray.

Amen.
