Prayer for the Oppressed

God of love, our hearts are troubled by the many people on our earth living under oppression – some from political systems, some from cultural or familial norms, some from spiritual forces of evil. Lord, You see the tears and hear the sigh of the oppressed and uphold their cause. You work righteousness and justice for them, and You are their refuge; use us as Your ambassadors of deliverance. Help us to be prayer warriors for them and find practical ways to come alongside them with Your love. Amen.
