Unfairness and Iniquity
Old Testament writings emphasize a lot on iniquity. Iniquity in repentance is an acknowledgement that because of what I have, others are deprived of what should have been theirs. Justice and mercy are core parts of Christianity, knowing that it should have been us on that Cross instead of Him.
Lord God, why do you let good people suffer,
why is it that even though we see things done wrong, why do You not punish them?
Lord, all things are out in the open.
We want to receive your mercy!
How long will you be patient with us?
How much more iniquity should we bear?
In all of this, I pray that you would turn things for good.
All things that you made are good.
Bring us closer to that original perfection that we once were.
