Prayer For Oppression
Let your servants' children live safe; let your servants' descendants live secure in your presence.
Let the oppressors be consumed out of the land (Isaiah 16:4).
I rebuke the voice of the oppressor in the name of Jesus (Psalm 55:3).
I am established in righteousness, and I am far from oppression (Isaiah 54:14).
Punish those who attempt to oppress me (Jeremiah 30:20).
The enemy will not take my inheritance through oppression (Ezekiel 46:18).
Execute judgement against my oppressors (Psalm 146:7).
O Lord, undertake for me against all my oppressors (Isaiah 38:14).
Lord, You are my refuge from the oppressor (Psalm 9:9).
Deliver me from the wicked that would oppress me and from my deadly enemies that would surround me (Psalm 17:9).
Deliver me from oppressors that seek after my soul (Psalm 54:3).
Break in pieces the oppressor (Psalm 72:4).
I rebuke and cast out all spirits of affliction, sorrow, and anything attempting to bring me low in the name of Jesus
Almighty God, who hast created us in thine own image: Grant us grace fearlessly to contend against evil and to make no peace with oppression; and, that we may reverently use our freedom, help us to employ it in the maintenance of justice in our communities and among the nations, to the glory of thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Almighty God, cover my mind with the helmet of Your salvation, reminding me constantly that I am Your child and the enemy can't mess with me. Fix my thoughts, Lord Jesus, on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. Help me to think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise so Your peace will guard my mind (Philippians 4:8-9). Don't let me copy the behavior and customs of this world, but transform me into a new person by changing the way I think. Then I will learn to recognize Your will for me which is good and pleasing and perfect (Romans 12:2, NLT). Saturate my mind with Your truth so I am convinced that the answers are found in Your Word, not out in the world. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Dear Lord, I come to You in deepest love and concern for my loved one. As you know it is hard for me to watch them go through this situation. It is even harder sometimes to keep my thoughts and emotions in check. Sometimes when I am in prayer, all these things get stirred up and it is hard for me to concentrate and hear Your voice. As I go into my prayer time with You right now, I pray that You will settle all these things inside me. Clear my heart and mind of anything that will hinder my discernment of Your voice. In Your name I pray. Amen.
Judge eternal, bringer of justice,
hear the cry
of those who suffer under the lash of heartless political oppression;
those who languish in prisons and labour camps, untried or falsely condemned;
those whose bodies are shattered,
or whose minds are unhinged by torture or deprivation.
Meet them in their anguish and despair,
and kindle in them the light of hope,
that they may find rest in your love,
healing in your compassion a
nd faith in your mercy.
In the name of him who suffered,
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O God, I place before You my weakness, my helplessness and the little esteem that people have of me. O Most Merciful God, You are Lord of the Oppressed and You are my Lord.
