To Avoid Judging
Patient Lord,
Daily we face judgment from others. People judge us by the way we dress, the food we eat, our circle of friends, and so many other factors. We are constantly being scrutinized and assessed. We live in fear of how others will judge us.
Sadly, the very judgment we fear, we also perpetuate by judging others. We judge them on the basis of the same criteria by which they judge us. Forgive us all for constantly critiquing one another, and help us let go of judgmental thoughts. Instead, generate in our hearts both the desire and the ability to see the best in others. Replace our judgmental spirits with joyful ones, and helps us view others as Jesus views us: as friends.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
