Personal Prayer
Praise God, the one who ultimately dispenses justice (Prov. 29:26). Thank him for leaders in your country and community who consistently hold up God’s just standards. Confess ways in which you have not followed those standards in your own life. Commit to acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God (Mic. 6:8). Ask God to use you to help bring this way of life to your part of the world.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for anyone close to you who is apparently not walking humbly with God in the way of justice and mercy. Ask God to establish the work of those who are living rightly with him (Ps. 90:17).

For the Church
Pray for your world missionaries. Ask God to remind them that “fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe” (Prov. 29:25).

For the Kingdom
Pray that world missionaries and their agencies will work to promote God’s ways of justice for the societies in which they work. Ask God to give them supernatural effectiveness.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray also for the individuals in those countries. Ask God to apply the merciful justice of Christ’s sacrifice to their lives, leading them to a humble and grateful walk with him.
