Relentless prayer for an unquenchable thirst for truth and righteousness

[Kensem]

Heavenly Father, we come to you in Jesus name

It is written, 'The truth shall set you free.'
Lord Jesus, we pray that you save the team at ###, their lawyers and legal representatives, who are bound by Satan's lies.
We ask your precious blood over those who are chosen and Christians. May you cover them and give them peace and understanding.
May you teach them to be righteous and compassionate.
As we can see, even those who are lawyers and studied law can engage themselves in horrible sins.
Lord, I pray you forgive their sins and let them not do anything that is evil in your eyes.
Lord, we do not wish to boast before You, nor do we wish to look down on lawyers who fall short of Your glory.
However, we humbly acknowledge that we cannot always expect the educated to act righteously.
Lord it is written in Psalms 51,
16For You do not delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You are not pleased with burnt offering. [1 Sam 15:22]
17My sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit;
A broken and contrite heart such, O God, You will not despise.
Lord, I pray in Jesus name that you work on their hearts so that they can recognise their sins and hate their sins enough so that they don't continue to live a sinful life.
Lord it grieves my heart how these people are disregarding human life and honest communication.
Stir their hearts, Lord, and give them an unquenchable thirst for truth and righteousness.
We thank Your Holiness and Your Holy Spirit who is interceding for us and them all the time.
We exalt your name on high, Jesus Christ.
Let your will be done, Heavenly Father, amen

We join you in this relentless prayer for an unquenchable thirst for truth and righteousness and we stand with you in Jesus name before the Father, for it is only through Him that we have access to God and it is only by His name that we can be saved.

Your prayer deeply encourages us because it reflects the heart God blesses. Jesus said in Matt 5:6, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. And He also said in John 8:32, You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. That truth is not an idea or a legal argument, it is a Person, for Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. We also remember Acts 4:12, There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved.

We agree with you that education and position do not make a person righteous. It is written in Rom 3:23, for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God, and in Rom 3:10, There is no one righteous, not even one. The lawyers and legal representatives you mentioned, like each of us, need the same mercy, the same redemption through the blood of Christ. We do not boast and we do not look down on them, for we too need grace, but we do pray earnestly that the Lord will open their eyes.

We love how you prayed from Psalm 51:17, The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. That is the work only God can do. We pray that He will give them what He promised in Ezek 36:26, A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you. And we pray that God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will, as it is written in 2 Tim 2:25-26.

It grieves us also when human life is disregarded and communication is abandoned, for God desires truth in the inward parts and He hates lying lips, but those who deal truly are His delight as seen in Prov 12:22. We pray that the Holy Spirit who intercedes for us according to Rom 8:26 will convict them deeply, not to shame them but to save them, that they would come to hate their sin and turn from it and walk in righteousness and compassion.

So together we pray, Heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we ask You to pour out Your mercy on them and on their lawyers and legal representatives. Save those who are lost and who are bound by the enemy's lies, set them free by Your truth. Cover Your children with the precious blood of Jesus, give them peace that passes understanding and guard their hearts and minds. Teach all involved to hunger and thirst for righteousness, to love truth, to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with You as required in Mic 6:8. Create in them a broken and contrite heart that You will not despise, grant them repentance and faith, forgive their sins and cleanse them from all unrighteousness, and keep them from doing what is evil in Your eyes. Stir them, Lord, transform them by the renewing of their minds according to Rom 12:2, that they may cherish human life, speak honestly, and live compassionately. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We exalt Your holy name and thank You that You hear us when we pray according to Your will. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

We thank you for bringing this burden so honestly before the Lord. We hear both the grief you carry as you watch honesty and regard for life disregarded, and the mercy in asking God to work in their hearts rather than simply to judge them.

That tension you name is real. Wanting truth and righteousness to prevail while also wanting those who have done wrong to be forgiven and changed can leave you replaying what happened and feeling heavy. It helps to remember that choosing to release a desire for payback and wanting good for the other person is a decision of the will, while the quieting of resentment and fear in the heart often takes longer and comes and goes. Both matter, and God is patient with you in both.

Your prayer itself is a way of entrusting them to Him. One practice others have found steadying is to give this intercession a contained place, for example, bringing these names and this situation to God at a set time each day, and when the thoughts return later, briefly turning the matter over to Him again instead of carrying it through the whole day. It keeps your thirst for truth alive without letting rumination wear you down.

Father, we lift this team and their lawyers to You. Cover those who are Yours with Your peace, and draw those who do not yet know You to Yourself. Work in every heart to love truth, to hate what is evil, and to walk in compassion and honesty. Guard our friend's heart from bitterness and fill it with Your wisdom and rest. We ask this in Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer is heard and it is a right and holy petition, to ask the Lord for truth and righteousness to reign in the hearts of men who have wandered from His way. We join you in bringing these souls, this team and their lawyers and representatives, before the throne of grace, that God in His mercy would grant them that true repentance which is the gift of His Spirit.

You have well quoted the Psalmist, for the Lord does not delight in outward sacrifice, but a broken and contrite heart He will not despise. That is the sacrifice acceptable to God. True repentance, as we have often preached, gives glory to the omniscience of God and to the righteousness of His Law. The truly penitent man does not quarrel with the Law, but says, Thy Law is holy and just and good, the fault is with me, for I am carnal, sold under sin. He hates the sin he once loved and turns from it, not for a season as a man may abstain from food to increase his appetite, but with a lasting change of mind wrought by the Holy Ghost.

Remember the children's hymn which contains the very soul of the matter,

Repentance is to leave
The sins we loved before,
And show that we in earnest grieve,
By doing so no more.

Any repentance that keeps a sinner from believing in Christ is not true repentance at all. No repentance is true but that which consorts with faith, and no faith is true but that which is linked with a hearty and sincere repentance on account of past sin. Where there is real sorrow for sin, wherever there is an honest determination by God's grace to cease from sin, wherever there is a complete change of mind with regard to sin, that repentance has been produced by the Spirit of God.

We pray then as you have prayed, that the goodness of God which now spares these men may lead them to repentance. For it is the goodness of God that is manifested in order to lead sinners to repentance. He spares them that they may turn to Him. May He stir their hearts to hate their sins enough to forsake them, to love truth and to thirst for righteousness as a man thirsts for water. May they see that pardon is to be had only in Christ's name, for our Lord has ordained that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations. There is pardon there, as great as it is full, pardon for crimes of deepest dye, a pardon bought with Jesus' blood, and for all who truly trust Him there is no condemnation forever.

We do not boast before God, nor do we look down upon any who fall short of His glory, for we too have fallen short and have been saved only by sovereign grace. Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for it. He shed His precious blood with a special view to the redemption of His elect. Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.

So we pray with you that the Lord would cover His own with His precious blood and give them peace and understanding, and that He would work upon the hearts of those who now disregard truth, that they may be brought to see their sin, to weep at the feet of Jesus, not with a bitter and despairing sorrow, but with that sweet sorrow for pardoned sin which is the delight of the renewed heart. Look to Jesus, for that sight begets repentance and faith together.

May the Lord grant your request according to His will, and make these men to be lovers of truth and followers of righteousness, for His glory and for their eternal good.

We thank you for this burden and we take it up with you before the Lord, asking that His will be done and His name exalted on high, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

We join with you in this prayer and give thanks for your hunger for truth and righteousness, for that hunger itself is blessed. As it is written, blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. Christ himself stood and cried, if anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink, and he promises that whoever drinks the water he gives will never thirst again, but it shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. This is the thirst we must kindle in ourselves and ask God to kindle in others, not a passing desire but the eagerness of a thirsty man for water, whom Christ draws not by constraint but by holy zeal.

You have prayed well, asking not with boasting and not looking down on others, but with humility. God does not delight in outward sacrifice alone, but a broken and contrite heart he will not despise. That heart does not rise up or strike back, it is quiet under reproof and ready to turn from sin. Such a heart is itself a gift of God, sober and awestruck and full of compunction, and we must ask him to grant it. For righteousness that saves is not a figure or a mere outward cleanness, but righteousness and holiness of truth, created anew in Christ. The righteousness which is of faith speaks near to us, that if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we shall be saved. There is no other way of salvation.

So we pray with you for these men and women, for the team and for their lawyers and representatives, that the lies that bind them would be broken by the truth that sets free, which is Christ himself. We ask the Lord to cover with his blood those who are his, to give them peace and understanding, and to bring those who do not yet know him to repentance. May he work in their hearts to show them their sin, to make them hate it and turn from it, and to teach them to love what is good and to act with compassion and honesty. May he clothe them with the breastplate of righteousness, which is a life of universal virtue that no adversary can pierce, and make them to hunger and thirst no more for what is false but for what is holy.

We will continue to remember this burden before the Lord with you, asking for alms, prayers, repentance and humility to mark both their lives and ours, and that the will of our heavenly Father be done. May he grant to you also perseverance in prayer and a contrite and steady heart as you intercede. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we ask these things, amen.
