'Abimelech's Plea.'
Genesis 20:4.
a) Now Abimelech had not come near her,
b) And he said:
c) "Lord, I am innocent!
d) "Would You destroy me and my people?"
(This QT teaches me about Abimelech's Plea: the Plea of an innocent person)
PRAYER: The Plea of an innocent person. {If truly we are innocent}

'The Worker's Due.'
Romans 4:4.
a) Money paid to workers
b) Is not a gift.
c) It is something they earn
d) By working.
(This Second reminds me about a basic human right: The Worker's Due)
PRAYER: If we are workers, for our Due.

One of the most important and effective Prayers is the Prayer for Mercy. This Prayer can be prayed by the innocent person, pleading their cause. It can also be prayed by the guilty person as a cry for Mercy from their heart. It is never our part to 'judge' whether a person is guilty or innocent. The Bible teaches us that, when we judge another person, we are actually judging ourselves. There are legal systems in the courts which can assess a person's innocence or guilt. The 'guilty' sentence needs to come from a form of 'court' or 'council', not from an authority figure who is answerable to no-one.
