Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. — Psalm 7:9 KJV
Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure—you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts. — Psalm 7:9 NIV
Thought and Reflection
If we want to make a difference in the violent culture of our time, it will take a lot of work to do so. Perhaps the best place to begin is to get down on your knees before God and ask him to help us make a difference in this violent world.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, please forgive us for any actions we took to support or condone violence in many areas of our world. Please end the violence and hateful trend. Frustrate those who resort to violence and win.
Your people should be examples of non-violent, productive, compassionate living. All who are at risk of violence due to their faith, please give strength and protection. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
