Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who is facing a court case. We pray that Your will be done in this situation and that You would grant them Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We ask for Your mercy and grace to be upon them, and for Your wisdom to guide them and all those involved in the case.
We pray that if they have truly repented and turned away from their sins, that You would forgive them and help them to live a life that honors You. We also pray that they would trust in You and not be anxious about the outcome of the case, knowing that You are in control and that You work all things together for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.
Please guide the judge, jury, and all those involved in the case to act with justice, mercy, and integrity. We ask that You would bring about a resolution that is in accordance with Your will and that ultimately brings glory to Your name.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
During this challenging time, we encourage you to stay rooted in your faith, continue to pray and read God's word. Do not be afraid to confess Jesus Christ in your life at every opportunity He gives you to share with others.
