Focused on the Theme: Justice

Today I’ll be praying from 1 Kings 3:11-12 in the New Living Translation.
King Solomon pleased God to such an extent that so God said that he would grant any request of Solomon’s. Solomon asked for an understanding heart so that he could govern the Lord’s people well and know the difference between right and wrong. Basically, he was asking to be a King of Justice and this was the Lord’s response:

"So God replied, 'Because you have asked for wisdom in governing my people with justice and have not asked for a long life or wealth or the death of your enemies—I will give you what you asked for! I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have!'"1 Kings 3:11-12 NLT

Let us be like Solomon and ask likewise.

Let’s Pray:
Lord, we align ourselves with Solomon’s request. You have granted us, members of our family, and the leaders of this nation various positions of leadership. We ask that as we lead you would bless us with wisdom to know the difference between right and wrong. Our heart’s desire is that all our decisions would be just. We want to be like you and only you. We pray this earnestly in Jesus Name, Amen.
