No one calls for justice; no one pleads a case with integrity. They rely on empty arguments, they utter lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.

“As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you,

Though in anger I struck you, in favor I will show you compassion.

I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,

Why, Lord, do you make us wander from your ways and harden our hearts so we do not revere you?

Lord God my Father,

Make me despise injustice and use me to share your integrity. Keep me close and warn me when I lose focus. Keep me from anger and help me to love louder than the darkness around me. I want to delight in all that comes my way, only your strength can save me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
