Isaiah 45:8 KJV
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
This is a pronouncement from Almighty God and would be a proper prayer for the saints of God. However, for us to rightfully seek this in prayer we would need to call on the God who is found in this passage
We must adore Him as the God who has made both peace and evil (vs 7)
Not that God has sinned; but God has allowed the evil one, Satan, to have his sway in the World. God allows bad things to happen to even His people, and sometimes He does it for reasons we cannot understand. This God is still all good and worthy of our worship and praise.
We must learn not to strive with Him. (vs 9)
Contending with God, challenging His ways, fighting His plans for our lives and for the world, is the very opposite of righteousness. How can we properly cry out to Him to "pour down righteousness" if we then fight against the very righteousness He would pour down?
