A Prayer for Justice


Picked up on an article from the Wall Street Journal about prostitution in India:

"New Delhi: Of 2.8 million prostitutes in the country, 35.47% entered the trade before the age of 18 years, Minister of state for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhury informed the Rajya Sabha today.
'The study on girls/women in prostitution in India, conducted between 2002-04, reports that there is a growing trend in the number of prostitution in the country. The study estimates that there are 2.8 million prostitutes in the country of which 35.47% entered the trade before the age of 18 years,' she said in a written reply."


"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Ps 34:18

Can we suffer for those who suffer?



Can the texture of our hearts be like a sponge for the absorption of the world's pain so that we can present to God prayer motivated by love?


Allow righteous anger to burn in us to motivate to seek justice for all humans.
