I don't know if it's a privilege to be invited inside the courtroom.
It's just not so comfortable sitting there and listening to a never-ending question and answer from the counsels and the witness/es.
SO today, im supposed to just have fun driving in our area and there this friend of mine asking me if i would like to experience the "courtroom".
Not wanting to upset him, i walk with him to the court.
Upon opening the courtroom's door, i have heard whisperings and i even heard the two opposing counsels laughing while talking. ( this is before the hearing started )
I began looking on the four corners of the courtroom. I saw the heaters....as well as the fan. Fan's turned off and heater on. I saw cabinets, huge ones, and it seems like it has on it files of cases finished as well as the still hanging ones.
There are wooden chairs the size doubled the benches at the park.
The judge came, and with him are those who will assist in writing (stenographer) and the one who will mark the documents as exhibits A to Z.
The lawyers are ready. Looking at the witness, i saw in her eyes fear and pain. I realized the witness is also the one who complain.
I looked up. Just hanging near the Judge's table are a prayer for the courtroom. I decided to copy it on my notebook. Here's what it says:
ECUMENICAL PRAYER FOR THE COURTS:
Almighty God, we stand in Your Holy Presence as our Supreme Judge. We humbly beseech You to bless and inspire us so that what we may think, say, and do will be in accordance with Your will.
Enlighten our minds, strengthen our spirits, and fill our hearts with fraternal love, wisdom and understanding so that we can be effective channels of truth, justice and peace in our proceedings today. Guide us in the path of righteousness for the fulfillment of Your greater glory. Amen.
Almighty God, we stand in Your Holy Presence as our Supreme Judge. We humbly beseech You to bless and inspire us so that what we may think, say, and do will be in accordance with Your will.
Enlighten our minds, strengthen our spirits, and fill our hearts with fraternal love, wisdom and understanding so that we can be effective channels of truth, justice and peace in our proceedings today. Guide us in the path of righteousness for the fulfillment of Your greater glory. Amen.
Someday, i know the Lord will also Judge me before His Holy Court. He will be my Supreme Judge.
As it doesn't feel good to be in this earth's courtroom where they say "injustice prevails"...i know in God's Courtroom, everything will be fair.
I wanna sing in His Courts. All i would like to do there is to sing praises...unending worship to a God of Justice.
In His court, i will be comfortable because His Holy Presence is there. No fear. No Pain.
