Weekly Prayer Focus for June 6: Is Everyone Right?

"A brief survey of [recent] rulings demonstrates that autonomy was introduced as a way of securing certain contraceptive rights, was broadened to include abortion, and expanded further to include homosexuality. Thus, the flow has been from sexual liberty to abortion to greater sexual liberty." -J. Alan Branch

Scripture
"In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes" (Judges 21:25, NASB).

Prayer
Father, please open our eyes to see the utter chaos coming when we do what is right in our own eyes. Your church is waffling between two opinions Lord, we plead for revival of Your people and spiritual awakening in our land. You can change the heart of a king, O Lord, please give our elected officials and judges Your wisdom to rule rightly. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
