Old Testament Verse

I know that the LORD maintains the cause of the needy, and executes justice for the poor.
Psalm 140:12

New Testament Verse

Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
Luke 6:20

Prayer

Protector of the powerless, forgive me for thinking my job is to be successful, strong, and immutable. Jesus came for those who were poor, powerless, and vulnerable. Realign my perspective to the reality of my true condition. Teach me to embrace what you value and become your follower so true justice reigns and gives hope to the lost. Amen.
