Prayers for
Peacemakers, October 7, 2015

Pray that the nation of Canada will repent of its cruelty,
and stop denying 169 First Nations communities access to clean drinking water.

*Epixel for Sunday, October 10, 2015 
 
 5:7 Ah, you that turn justice to wormwood, and bring righteousness to the ground!

5:10 They hate the one who reproves in the gate, and they abhor the one who speaks the truth.

5:11 Therefore because you trample on the poor and take from them levies of grain, you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not live in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.

5:12 For I know how many are your transgressions, and how great are your sins– you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe, and push aside the needy in the gate.
