For The Beginning Of The Week

For the Beginning of the Week

INHALE: Let justice roll like a river

EXHALE: And righteousness like a mighty stream.

This is a breath prayer to begin your week, taken from Amos 5:24. Inhale and meditate on God’s justice; exhale and meditate on God’s righteousness. May this Scripture breathe life into us as we do the work of dismantling injustice in our lives and in our parenting. Here is a modern paraphrase of Amos 5:23-24: “I’ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music. When was the last time you sang to me? Do you know what I want? I want justice—oceans of it. I want fairness—rivers of it. That’s what I want. That’s all I want” (MSG).
