“Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?

Isaiah 58:6 World English Bible

Reflection

Violence and coercion destroy lives and fracture communities, leaving deep scars on families and neighbourhoods. God deeply values human life and desires that every person experience safety, dignity, and peace. Ask the Lord to restrain acts of harm, protect the vulnerable, and bring swift intervention wherever cruelty takes root. Pray for leaders and law enforcement to act with wisdom, integrity, and righteousness, standing firmly against violence while upholding justice and defending the innocent.
