Prayer & Fasting

Our God is a God of Justice. He hates injustice, oppression, and exploitation. God knows no compromise or reconciliation with evil. His kingdom is the realm where justice rules, and his mission is to bring his love and justice to all. God's love for justice and his love for the outsider come together particularly in his concern for the poor and his commitment to justice for them. He hears the cry of the oppressed and reaches down to set them free.

Since God’s will is for justice and righteousness, we engage in a spiritual battle when we try to do his will in this area. And prayer is a vital weapon. We should pray that the Lord will act for justice.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven… (Matt 6:9-10)

» Pray that God will act to establish justice for the poor and oppressed.
» Pray that his people will be agents of righteousness and justice in the world.

Join Our Starve Campaign

Let's have a Season of Lent in preparation for Easter in seeking the face of the one who loves us by starving our life so we can find real love and life again. Join us with as we call for 40 Days of holistic fasting from from Ash Wednesday, on February 17th, 2010, and ends on Easter, Sunday, April 12, 2010. Following Isaiah 58 and Joel 2, this is a call to starve ourselves so that we might see a new Spirit of Love on the face of the earth.

Two Prayers of Justice

Almighty God our heavenly Father,
guide the nations of the world into the way of justice and truth,
and establish among them that peace which is the fruit of righteousness,
that they may become the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Grant us, Lord God, a vision of our land as your love would make it:
- a land where the weak are protected, and none go hungry or poor;
- a land where the benefits of civilised life are shared, and everyone can enjoy them;
- a land where different races and cultures live in tolerance and mutual respect;
- a land where peace is built with justice, and justice is guided by love.

And give us the inspiration and courage to build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
