Prayers for Peacemakers July 6, 2016

Pray for all of those who are grieving the loss loved ones
who died in the attacks in Istanbul, Baghdad, Dhaka, Medina, and Qatif during
the holy month of Ramadan.  Pray that
international community will repent of its racism by treating the lives lost in
Brussels and Paris as more valuable.

God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.
Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalm 82:1-4
