Prayer 102

O God, you are the God of justice and forbearance,
and we thank you for your manifold blessings.

Help us to be ever-vigilant
where injustice and manipulation attempt to flourish,
and root them out as noxious weeds.
Open our eyes
to the plight of the vulnerable in our midst
and then take action to guard and protect them.
Watch over the judges in our lands
and help them to interpret the law
with equity and principle.

And strengthen, guard, and comfort, we pray, these your children.

Amen.
