Lord, people are running around in a panic, demanding “justice for all”. Do we not see that there can be no true justice in this life? Do we not understand that greed and the hardness of man’s heart have stollen justice?

But we have this assurance O Lord – You will one day restore Your perfect justice and establish Your perfect peace.

As we wait, press upon the hearts of Your people, upon my heart, to do what is right. Remind us Lord to live holy lives of kindness and goodness and mercy. Teach us to show love to our fellow man, even when he doesn’t deserve it, just as You have done for us.

As we wait, help us to remember Your faithfulness in days past, to find rest in Your assurance for today, and to trust in You promises for the days to come.
