Prayer
Litany
(Adapted from Psalm 72:1-10, & Amos 5:24)
God
let your justice and fairness
flow
like a river that never runs dry
Please help those of us who are rich
to be honest and fair just like you, our God.
May we who have such abundance
be honest and fair with all your people,
especially the poor.
Let peace and justice rule every mountain
and fairness flow as a river that never runs dry.
God
let your justice and fairness
flow
like a river that never runs dry
May we your people defend the poor,
rescue the homeless,
and crush everyone who hurts them.
May we be as helpful as rain that refreshes the
ground,
to those who are treated unjustly.
Let the wholeness and fairness of your kingdom
live forever like the sun and the moon.
God
let your justice and fairness
flow
like a river that never runs dry
Because you our God,
rescue the homeless and have pity on those who hurt
May we who are rich stand up for the poor
and let peace abound until the moon fades to
nothing.
Let God’s kingdom of justice and fairness
reach from sea to sea, across all the earth.
God
let your justice and fairness
flow
like a river that never runs dry
Amen.
