PRAYER FOR OUR NATION

Thought...

Finding fault in someone else is so easy for most of us.   Finding fault in ourselves is much trickier.   Jesus reminds us that we must deal with the shortcomings and sins in our own lives before we start telling others how to live.   Seems pretty simple, doesn't it?   But we all know it isn't.

Prayer...

Father, please forgive me when I am severe, harsh, and judgmental toward others.   I know there are problems in my own life that need the work of your Holy Spirit.   I confess that there are routine sins that I find myself excusing more and more.   Please, dear LORD, forgive my sin and empower me to move beyond it.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.



Deus vobiscum
