Your city may have many kinds of courts in its judicial systems which guide the justice of the City. There may be local magistrates courts, city courts, county courts, state courts, federal courts and Juvenile Court. God loves righteousness and hates lawlessness (Psalm 45:7), and is righteous in all His ways (Psalm 145:17). The scepter (authority) of His Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness (Psalm 45:6). And the foundation (Psalm 89:14) of His sovereign power is Righteousness (the principles and purposes of what God says is RIGHT) and Justice (the administration of rightness in legal decisions and judicial decrees). As we PRAY then for your city’s courts and judicial systems, let’s PRAY for:
