Scripture Reflection
The Bible reminds us that God is a God of justice and compassion. In Psalms 82:3-4, it says, "Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." As Christians, we are called to uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed, and to pray for those who are suffering.
Prayer for Salvation in Christ
Dear God, we pray for Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, the alleged victim, and all those involved in this trial. We pray that you will bring them to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and that they will experience your love, forgiveness, and healing. May your truth and justice prevail, and may your name be glorified in all that happens. Amen.
