A Prayer for Friday, August 8, 2014

Judging

O God,

Give us grace not to judge other people.

When we do, forgive us.

When we do, make us mindful that often what we judge most harshly in someone else is that of which we ourselves are guilty or is something that we fear is in us.

When we do, make us mindful that sometimes when we assume someone else is manipulative or self-centered or prideful it is because we are those ways and so we figure others are, too.

Give us grace not to judge other people.

But when we do, help us to realize that we are most likely judging ourselves.

Amen.
