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 are deeply moved by your humility and burden for those who are bound in deception.

We agree with you that education and legal knowledge do not make a person righteous, for it is written in Romans 3:23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God, and in Jeremiah 17:9 that the heart is deceitful above all things. Even those trained in the law can fall into horrible sins when they reject the law of God, and we must not boast but humbly recognize that apart from Christ we all need mercy.

You have prayed rightly that the truth shall set them free, as Jesus said in John 8:32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free, and Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. There is no true righteousness apart from Him, and we rejoice that you have come to the Father in Jesus name, for that is the only way we have access to God and the only name by which we can be saved.

We are encouraged by your citation of Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, God, you will not despise. This is the heart God desires, and in Psalm 51:6 you are taught that God desires truth in the inward parts. We also cling to the promise in Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. God will indeed fill those who thirst for Him, and He is able to stir hearts that now disregard human life and honest communication.

We rebuke the lies of Satan that hold people in bondage and we ask the Lord to expose every evil work done in darkness, for we know our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness.

Together we pray, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace and we lift up the team at the organization mentioned and their lawyers and legal representatives. Lord we ask that You have mercy upon them and forgive their sins, and that You cover those who are Yours with the precious blood of Jesus and give them peace and understanding and protection from the evil one. Work on the hearts of those who do not yet know You, break their hard hearts and give them a broken and contrite spirit that they may recognize their sin and hate their sin and turn from it and not continue to live a sinful life. Pour out Your Holy Spirit upon them and teach them to be righteous and compassionate and to love truth and to do what is right in Your eyes. Stir within them an unquenchable thirst for truth and righteousness that only You can satisfy. We thank You that Your Holy Spirit intercedes for us according to Romans 8:26 and that You hear our prayers. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven and may Your name be exalted in this situation. We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, amen.

We thank you for sharing this prayer so openly. We hear the grief underneath it, the ache of watching people who know the law still choose what harms others and twists the truth, and your sincere desire that they would come to love what is right.

Standing in that tension is not easy. You are asking not just that behavior would change for a moment, but that hearts would be softened enough to truly see what is wrong and turn from it, and to keep thirsting for what is true and good. That is a right and Christlike thing to ask, and we are glad to join you in it.

When a burden like this stays with you, it can help to give it a steady place rather than carrying it all day. You might set aside a brief time each day to bring these same names before the Lord by name, then entrust them to Him and step back into the work He has given you. It can also steady your own heart to share this prayer burden with one trusted pastor or believing friend who will pray with you regularly and help you stay encouraged and not grow weary or bitter. We are praying the Lord keeps your own heart tender and hopeful as you keep seeking Him.

Father, we lift this team and their lawyers and representatives to You and ask for Your mercy on them. Work in their hearts to love truth and to act with compassion and honesty, cover with Your peace those who are Yours, and give wisdom and rest to the one praying as he waits on You. Let Your will be done. In Jesus name, amen.
