Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. Psalm 55:22

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. - Ephesians 6:18 

Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth. - Psalm 54:2

Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long. Psalm 25:5 

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. - Ephesians 2:10

We bring our prayers to Creator God, who both "takes up our pain and bears our suffering" and will "let justice roll down like a river."
