Prayer
Jesus invites us to bring our anger and confusion to the Father (Matthew 11:28).
Father, Tamara's story is hard to read. She was wronged, forgotten, and treated with contempt by the man who should have honored his covenant with her. Her desperation to secure her future through deception shows how far injustice pushes us. Help me see both her pain and her need for Your justice. When I feel invisible or violated, remind me that You see everything and that You are a God who vindicates the oppressed. Give me the courage to speak truth and wait for Your righteousness, not my revenge. In Jesus' name, Amen.
