Keep the agreement and speak honestly if there is a concern

Quietly change the terms later if you can

Ignore the agreement and hope the issue goes away

Treat the agreement as leverage for getting more later

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and need your mercy. I turn from my sin and from every unfair way I have lived. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. Forgive me, make me new, and be my Lord. I trust you with my life. Amen.

Receive the Lord Who Saves

Lord, revive your Church to be a people who keep their word, speak truthfully, and refuse unfairness. Where we have been careless with promises or quick to justify ourselves, bring repentance and integrity. Make us reflect your justice and your mercy together, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Renew Your People in Fairness

Father, when I feel treated unfairly, keep me from bitterness and help me respond with truth, patience, and clarity. Teach me to trust your justice and to speak with grace, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

When I Feel Shortchanged

Pray by naming the agreement or expectation, asking God to show you the facts clearly, and asking for words that are honest, calm, and fair.

Pray Before You React

Bring these to God: gratitude for his fairness, thanks for his faithfulness to what he says, and praise for honest relationships built on clear agreements.

Thanks for God's Fairness

Pray for families, workplaces, and churches to keep their word, handle conflict without exaggeration, and treat one another justly.
