The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promises as some count slowness, but is patient toward you. – 2 Peter 3:9
On this day in 1966, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in Miranda v. Arizona, which established the precedent that every criminal suspect must be advised of their rights (referred to as the “Miranda Rights”) prior to being questioned. The Supreme Court ruled in 2022 that law enforcement officers cannot be sued for damages for failing to issue the Miranda warning. Pray for the justices of the Supreme Court as they decide cases that carry huge significance. As you go about your day, be open to the Spirit of God and ask Him to give you wisdom in your interactions with those in your sphere. Be mindful of the expectations and rights you anticipate being fulfilled, remembering the humility of the Lord Jesus as well as His commitment to the Father’s will.
As the Lord leads, pray with us…
- For justices of the Supreme Court to seek God’s guidance as they listen to the remaining oral arguments in outstanding cases.
- For law enforcement officers at all levels of government to have integrity and wisdom as they carry out their duties.
