For he does not enjoy hurting people or causing them sorrow. If people crush underfoot all the prisoners of the land, if they deprive others of their right sin defiance of the Most High, if they twist justice in the courts—doesn’t the Lord see all these things?

O beautiful Jerusalem, your punishment will end; you will soon return from exile. But Edom, your punishment is just beginning;soon your many sins will be exposed.

Lord God my Father,

Allow me to understand your peace in such a way I seek only it and protect me from the distractions and compromise that may draw my attention.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
