Prayer based on Proverbs 22:16. Themes: Oppression, Poverty, Generosity
Dear God, please help us to never oppress the poor for our own gain or give to the rich at the expense of those in need.

Please guide us in our actions and help us to always remember the importance of treating others with kindness and respect. Amen.
