Prayer based on Luke 17:2. Themes: Justice, Protection, Responsibility.

Dear God, please help us to always be mindful of the impact our actions have on others, especially the little ones. May we never cause them to stumble or lead them astray. And if we ever do, may we be willing to bear the consequences and seek forgiveness. Help us to always strive to be a positive influence and to lead by example. Amen.

Verse: It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Luke 17:2

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to not cause harm or lead astray any innocent or vulnerable individuals.
