Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in awe of Your power and justice. You are a God of vengeance and recompense, and You will judge Your people. We thank You for Your mercy and compassion towards your servants, and for Your faithfulness to vindicate us in times of trouble.
Help us to remember that vengeance is Yours and not ours. Remind us to turn to You in times of distress, and to trust that You will repay in Your perfect timing. May we never seek to avenge ourselves, but instead to leave it in Your hands.
We thank You for Your justice, and for Your perfect plan for our lives.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
