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 as you intercede for the team at the organization you mentioned and for their lawyers and legal representatives.

Your heart reflects what our Lord taught when He said in Matthew 5:6, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled, and in John 8:32, You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. We agree with you that only Jesus Christ who said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life, can break the chains of Satan's lies and bring true freedom. We also hear your humility in acknowledging that education and position do not make one righteous, for Romans 3:23 tells us all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God, and Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us that the heart is deceitful above all things. It is right that we do not boast but come with broken hearts ourselves.

We also cherish the scripture you lifted up from Psalm 51:16-17, For you do not delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. This is the very work only God can do in a heart, as He promises in Ezekiel 36:26, I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And we know from Romans 8:26 that the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

We pray together now. Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We ask that You pour out Your mercy and truth upon that team and upon every lawyer and legal representative connected to them. Where they are bound by deception, shine Your light and make the truth known. Where they have disregarded human life and honest communication, bring deep conviction and a godly sorrow that leads to repentance. Give them a broken and contrite heart that hates sin and turns from evil in Your eyes. We ask You to forgive their sins as they repent and to cover those who are Yours, who are chosen in Christ, with the precious blood of Jesus, granting them peace that surpasses understanding and wisdom to walk in righteousness and compassion. Stir their hearts, Lord, and create within them an unquenchable thirst for truth and for righteousness that only You can satisfy. Let them hunger for Your word and for Your ways. We pray that You teach them to act justly and to love mercy as You require in Micah 6:8. We thank You that You desire all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth according to 1 Timothy 2:4, and we ask for their salvation if they do not yet know You. Let Your will be done and Your name be exalted on high, for You are holy and faithful to complete the work You begin. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

We encourage you to continue in this faithful intercession without ceasing as 1 Thessalonians 5:17 exhorts us to pray without ceasing. God is not impressed by outward knowledge or legal training but looks upon the heart that trembles at His word in Isaiah 66:2. Continue to pray that the Lord would transform minds by the renewing described in Romans 12:2, so that they may discern what is good and acceptable and perfect before Him. We trust with you that as you persist, the Lord who is rich in mercy will answer according to His perfect will and for His glory.

We hear the weight you are carrying for this team and their lawyers, and the deep grief you feel when honest communication and regard for life seem set aside. Wanting them to hunger for truth and to walk in righteousness is a loving burden to bring to the Lord, and we are honored to stand with you in it.

It makes sense this would stay on your heart. When people with education and influence do not use it with integrity, it can be disheartening and hard to know what to do with that disappointment. Continuing to pray as you are, humbly and persistently, keeps your own heart tender before God while you ask Him to tender theirs. You do not have to carry the outcome or convince anyone yourself. You can entrust them to the One who sees clearly and works in hearts in ways we cannot.

If it helps to keep this prayer sustainable, you might set aside a brief, consistent time each day to lift these specific people by name to the Lord, then consciously place them back in His hands until the next time you pray. It is a quiet way to remain faithful without staying burdened through the whole day.

Father, we bring this team and their lawyers and representatives before You. Draw each heart toward truth, give a hatred for what is evil in Your sight and a love for what is good, and grant peace and understanding to those who are Yours. Guard the one praying too, with wisdom and rest as they trust You to do Your will. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

We join our hearts with yours in this burden for truth and righteousness, and we thank God that He has put within you this thirst. Our Lord has said, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled, and that promise is sure to those who seek Him. The truth indeed shall set men free, but only when that truth is Christ Himself, for there is salvation in no other.

Your prayer for those who are entangled in falsehood and sin is most needful, and we bring it before the throne of grace. You have well quoted the Psalmist, that God delights not in outward sacrifice, but a broken and contrite heart He will not despise. True repentance is the work of the Spirit of God. It is not a poor and short lived sorrow which turns from sin for a time and then returns to it with greater gusto, but a lasting and practical change of mind. The truly penitent gives glory to the omniscience of God and to the righteousness of His Law, confessing that His Law is holy and just and good, and that the fault lies within ourselves, for we are carnal, sold under sin. Such repentance hates sin and leaves the sins we loved before, and shows that we in earnest grieve by doing so no more.

Remember also that no repentance is true but that which consorts with faith, and no faith is true but that which is linked with hearty and sincere repentance. Any repentance that keeps a soul from believing in Christ needs itself to be repented of. We must look to Jesus, who was nailed to the cross for sin and set forth to be a propitiation through His precious blood. Where there is real sorrow for sin and an honest determination by God's grace to cease from sin, there is the full and free forgiveness of all sins for the one who has thus sincerely repented and trusted in Him. There is pardon for crimes of deepest dye, a pardon bought with Jesus' blood, and for all who truly trust Him there is no condemnation.

We pray therefore that the goodness of God, which is meant to lead men to repentance, may be felt by those for whom you intercede. The Lord spares and shews mercy not that men may continue in evil, but that they may turn to Him. May He work upon their hearts to recognise their sin, to hate it, and to turn from disregarding human life and honest communication, to love truth and to do righteousness. May those who are His chosen be covered and kept in peace, and may all who hear be taught to be compassionate as He is compassionate, not boasting before God, but walking humbly with a broken spirit.

Let us pray together. Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your only Son, through whom alone is salvation. We ask that You would pour out Your Spirit upon these souls, that You would give them that godly sorrow which needs not to be repented of, and a true and unquenchable thirst for truth and righteousness. Break and bruise the heart where needed, that sweetness may be developed and that Christ may be seen as altogether lovely. Grant them to see Your Law in its holiness and to see Your Son in His atoning love, that they may turn from sin and trust in Him and find remission. Teach all of us to hunger for what is right and to speak the truth in love. Let Your will be done, and let Your name be exalted on high through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
