The courts of our land exist to help secure the goodness and greatness of America.

Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

The first thing that we are to do is pray.  This is the main thing – the most important thing.

“I urge, then,l first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all the people – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”  1 Timothy 2:1-2

This scripture is crystal clear about the priority and purpose of prayer.  First and foremost, we are to pray for everyone, especially for those who lead us and exercise authority over us.  This certainly includes judges and everyone involved in the court system.  We can do nothing greater than pray.  We have a call to saturate the judicial process and our court system with prayers of all kinds.  The purpose is plain – that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.  Prayer changes things.  Prayer changes people!  As we pray for the courts we may fully anticipate the fruit of peace and Christ-like living.

We can also expect the promise of scripture, “Blessed is the nation whose God is The LORD.”  Psalm 33:12

Prayerfully submitted,
