A Prayer Before Court

Lord, I come to You before I walk into court. My heart is heavy and my nerves are stirred. Steady me now, and fill me with Your peace.

Give me honest words and a clear mind. Let truth be spoken and justice be done. Go before me into that room, and let me not be afraid.

I place the outcome in Your hands. Help me to trust You, whatever comes. Be near to all who will stand there today, and let mercy and fairness have their way.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this quietly the morning of your court date, or in the moments just before you walk in. You can also return to it whenever worry rises while you wait.
