Prayer based on Mark 12:40. Themes: hypocrisy, condemnation, justice
Dear Lord, we pray for those who take advantage of the vulnerable, especially widows, and use religion as a cover for their greed. We ask that you open their hearts to see the error of their ways and guide them towards repentance and restitution. May they seek to serve you with sincerity and humility, and may they use their resources to bless others rather than exploit them. We pray for justice and mercy to prevail, and for your grace to transform even the hardest of hearts. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
