Prayer is one of the most powerful ways we can journey with those who experience violent injustice. International Justice Mission have developed a great new prayer resource - Prayer journey: A casework-based on-line prayer walk-through. It can be used by Churches, prayer groups and individual Christians. The prayer journey invites you to pray for justice and restoration in individual lives and our world. This journey follows the story of a young client's path to restoration following sexual exploitation. It takes the participant on a prayer journey through 14 prayer stations allowing them to reflect and pray at each stage of the journey.
If you have a heart for young people, we encourage you to pray for cause. Start here.
There are also a number of our other great prayer resources free to download from IJM's website on:
- Justice and Prayer: A short article giving an overview of God's heart for justice; how to pray for justice and ways of getting started.
- The Lord's Prayer – justice reflections: A series of four articles that explores four key elements of the Lord's Prayer and what they reveal about God's character and justice. Be inspired by God's everlasting, unconditional love and his unrelenting passion for justice.
- Just Prayer Devotional: An eight-week journey through the work of prayer and justice. Explores scripture and the reality of injustice today, side by side, leading into a deeper level of prayer. Great for individuals or small groups.
- 5 Day Justice Devotional: A 5 day devotional designed to guide you as you dive a little deeper into what it may look like for you to follow God into His work of justice. Suitable for individuals or small groups.
- Advocacy Devotional: A seven-session devotional that explores how God used different Biblical characters as advocates in their own contexts, giving inspiration for how you might advocate for justice in your spheres of influence. Each session includes prayer points to help as you begin to intercede - to stand in the gap - with and for your leaders.
- Prayer in action – stories from the field: 4 case stories of actual IJM clients covering property grabbing, sex trafficking, police brutality, and sexual violence. The stories allow you to understand the nature of the violence and the hope God brings as He transforms real situations. Each story ends with prayer points to help guide you in praying for these difficult issues. Can be used personally, in prayer rooms, small groups etc.
