I am helpless, but I am not hopeless. My hope is in our God. Our God, who sees you and He sees me. He sees us, and it is to Him I will ask. It is because of His Son, Jesus, that I am allowed to ask. It is because of Christ Jesus, Son of the very living God you and I serve, that I have access to beseech for His intervention. We are children of the Almighty God.
O Lord, how long shall we cry for help,
and you will not hear?
Or cry to you “Violence!”
and you will not save?
Why do you make us see iniquity,
and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction and violence are before us;
strife and contention arise.
So the law is paralyzed,
and justice never goes forth.
For the wicked surround the righteous;
so justice goes forth perverted.
Habakkuk 1:1-4
How can I question You? How can I speak of things I don’t understand?
LORD,
You are the living God, who is present and all-knowing. El Roi, the God who sees all things.
You are righteous, You are just.
Hear our prayers, our cry for justice. Hear our prayer for protection, and peace. Clear the path for our lives to be lived in accordance with Your good and perfect will. Protect and empower us to live free, without fear, but also with courage and intentionality to glorify You.
Father,
Please, in the name of Your precious Son, Jesus, silence the chaos, and expose those who feed hatred, malice, and injustice. Bring Your justice and Your healing.
Give us wisdom daily as we walk this path.
Guide all who love You, to lead, to live, to love in a way that pleases and glorifies You.
