Our Prayer for Judges

For our judges, we ask God, that you will instill in them a reverence and respect for You and the life You created on this earth. Help them to judge righteously, and to defend the rights of the afflicted and the needy. Help them to interpret the law, rather than to make the law. Turn the judiciary back, O God, to their duty of protecting the Constitution, by interpreting it as our founding fathers meant it, not according to the whims of society today.

Father, there are dozens of vacant judgeships in the Federal court system because of delays in the U.S. Senate. We ask that You bring an end to those delays and let the full Senate vote on the nominations quickly. Please give wisdom to our Senators as they carefully consider the qualifications and wisdom of the nominees.
