A Prayer for Repenting of My Critical Spirit and Selective Compassion

Ask God to help you overcome the tendency to jump to speedy conclusions that could cause you to stumble and possibly hurt someone else.

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. (Matthew 7:1-2)

Today’s Prayer

From a very early age, we learn that you can’t judge a book by its cover. I know that I try to be careful of being judgmental, but sometimes it happens when I am least expecting it to.

I have done some wrong in the past I lied stolen and cheated I judged others and turned my back on everything that was good in my life..I have been given another chance of life and to live as I should have from the beginning.

I pray that others see me for all the good I am now doing and the changes I have made in my life. I pray that I walk tall and hold my head up high when others laugh point or judge me based on my past. I pray for courage against the evil people who mock my my new way of life and I pray that I do not fall back to my old ways no matter how hard things may get I also pray I never look back on my old life despite all the fingers that point back in that direction..

Please God keep me strong in all I do bless those who love and trust and who have helped me be where I am today and have mercy on the souls who live in hate doubt jealousy and ignorance. Please help me to remember dear lord you will never leave my side ..Amen
