One effective means of expression and contact between followers of Christ and God is prayer. When we experience injustice, we can use prayer to ask God for Justice against our enemies.
In this post, we’ll examine what it means to pray for Justice against enemies and several prayers you might offer when experiencing injustice.
What is a Prayer for Justice?
Prayer for Justice is an intercessory prayer whereby you pray for God’s intervention whenever you are victimized or when you have been denied Justice.
A prayer is a powerful tool for anybody seeking Justice, which may be accomplished through meditation or simply speaking aloud.
When we witness evil prospering and succeeding, or when the innocent and decent suffer, it’s difficult not to question why. When tragedies like these happen, we should pray to God to intercede and bring Justice to the upright.
When seeking Justice in your life, you might employ a variety of prayers. One example would be asking for God’s direction and Justice against your enemies. Below are some prayers you can pray for God’s Justice.
