City on Our Knees Prayer Points:
Positives in the court system: The rising backlog in Family, Criminal and Civil law cases, and the closure of courtrooms in 2020 due to Covid-19, forced Ontario to modernize court systems that had been unchanged for generations. And there is a recent commitment by Ontario for funds for new court staff.
Backlogged family, criminal and civil court cases to significantly catch up with demand
Children, the vulnerable, and all people in our city to receive justice and mercy, impartially rendered
People without internet or computer devices to have equal access to the changing new technologies related to legal procedures
Affordable legal representation for people in family, criminal and civil court cases
Other areas of justice:
That all people in our city – including the disadvantaged – are consulted and included in decisions affecting them.
That there are Christians in every sphere and community humbly seeking to “be the light” there
That we as a city would care for the vulnerable and seek God’s strength and provision for this
January 16th - January 22nd.
