Recently we have also been the victim of crime. Let us unite in prayer against this evil in society: Lord God, crime is on the increase within our city and our country. We ask that You will comfort and heal all the victims of crime.
We pray too that You will protect all people from the evil of crime and violence. We pray especially for the conversion of all criminals - remove all evil from their hearts, and fill them with your goodness and love, that they may cease their evil works and that our city and land be free from all the scourge of crime and violence.
We pray also for the grace to purge ourselves of all violence in our own thoughts and actions, in our family life, in our friendships and our relationships with others. Amen.
Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by crime! Hab 2:12
