PRAYER
Gracious Jesus, I can spend time with you in confidence. I know that you not only understand me but that you don't condemn me. Forgive me for nurturing a critical spirit where I'm constantly trying to assign motives to the actions of others. Help me to embrace even the worst of sinners with an uncritical spirit. I want to be like you, approaching justice with mercy. Amen.
