O Lord, God of justice, listen to our honest prayers.
Look with right judgment on the needs of your people.
God of justice: hear and answer.
Look at our hearts; cleanse us from every jealousy and violence.
Lead us along your trustworthy path and hold us upright.
God of justice: hear and answer.
In your faithful love, save those who take refuge in you.
Keep those in need as the apple of your eye;
spread your wings over those who endure oppression and danger.
God of justice: hear and answer.
Watch over those who are sick or sorrowing,
and tend those who are surrounded by trouble.
Come especially to the aid of those we lift up by name…
God of justice: hear and answer.
Arise, O Lord, to deliver your people
from sin, from danger, from death.
Show your face to your dear ones,
and satisfy us with your love,
we pray in Jesus’ name, saying together:
The Lord’s Prayer
