In many court cases, we are often at the mercy of men. For just solutions, though, we can trust in the Lord. As it says in Psalm 108:12, “Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless.”
It is, therefore, more prudent to seek the face of the Lord and pray for mercy. He is just and will not allow a man to triumph over us. As it says in Psalm 25:2, “O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.”

The Lord is always near, wishing to bless us regardless of who we are and what we do. But it’s important that you talk with that person and convince them to talk to God.
They need to ask God to forgive their sins and cleanse their soul. Then, God will help them with any trouble they may be facing.
We can ask the Lord to bless us in the midst of difficult times, as long as we are truly sorry. Even if we are not guilty, we can ask Him for forgiveness so that we are forgiven and are set free.
Are These Prayers Really Miraculous?
All prayers are miraculous because they are answers from God. They are also miraculous because we are able to say them.
Speak to the Lord and believe that He hears, and miracles can happen. Therefore, any prayer we say can become a miracle.
Can I Pray As Many Times As I Want?
God hears the prayers of our hearts, minds, and souls. If we serve Him and trouble comes our way, we can always turn to Him. Praying is part of who you are in Christ.
In order for us to get an answer from God, we ought to pray as often as we can. This means that we should pray as many times as necessary.
Can I Light A Candle To Help This Person In Trouble?
Please light a candle for the person who is in trouble. It is a way to bring the person to mind as you pray and even as you look at it after praying for them.
Candles do not have any power but are an aid for concentrated and focused prayers. Create a special place for it where you can be quiet and pray for the person in trouble.
Final Thoughts
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. As believers, Christ gave us the right to pray for anything. This includes prayers for those who are in trouble with law enforcement.
We can pray for those who are innocent as well as those who are guilty. As believers, we should always “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak,” as Matthew 26:41 tells us. We can, therefore, err in a moment of weakness and break the law. Praying is vital to staying clear of any sin, as the verse tells us.
We should make every effort to pray for those who do not know God, and err, as they need all the help they can get. God is there for anyone who needs His help.
