Praying for Justice 2: Pray that the voice of the poor may be heard.
Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. (James 5:4-5)
God hears the cry of those suffering from injustice. And he calls the rich and powerful to account because of it.
· Pray that the voice of the poor in the developing world may be heard in the corridors of power.
· Pray for open hearts among those with power, that they may respond with justice.
This week, I am posting short meditations and prayers around the theme of justice for the developing world. God calls his people to stand up and to respond to injustice. During this week, I am focusing on issues of justice for the developing world as part of the Make Poverty History campaign.
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and the needy.(Proverbs 31: 8)
