A Prayer for Justice

International Sunday School March 8, 2020 Sprint Quarter #2

Habakkuk 1:1-4 The prophecy that Habakkuk the prophet received. (2) How long, LORD, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not save? (3) Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds. (4) Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.

Habakkuk 1:12-14 LORD, are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, you will never die. You, LORD, have appointed them to execute judgment; you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish. (13) Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves? (14) You have made people like the fish in the sea, like the sea creatures that have no ruler.
