A Prayer for Justice and Mercy

God of justice and mercy, expose what is wrong, protect those who are vulnerable, and teach us to act humbly. Keep us from cruelty, apathy, and pride. Make repair possible where harm has been done. Amen.

Hold Both Together

Justice without mercy can become harsh. Mercy without justice can ignore harm. Biblical prayer asks God for truth, repair, compassion, and humility together.

Pray Responsibly

If a situation involves abuse, exploitation, or immediate danger, prayer should be joined with appropriate help, reporting, and protection.
