Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.

PRAYER
Most high God, you are in authority over all: the high and lowly, needy and content, rich and poor, hopeful and hopeless. I confess that often I am arrogant. I judge and critique others and their lives. Help me to increase and abound in love, being an advocate and encourager of all. Show me who to support today. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
