God forgive me when
I judge others quickly yet seek the hand of mercy for myself.
God forgive me when
I judge the poor to be lazy and looking for the easy way out.
God forgive me when
I think the solution for the poor is they get off their butts and find a job.
God forgive me when
I think it is easy for the lower class to change their status but complain I can't get ahead.
God forgive me when
I think I have it harder than everyone else.
God forgive me when
I complain the Church should be doing her job so the government doesn't have to.
God forgive me when
I forget that the Church I complain about is actually me.
God forgive me when
I choose to judge someone's lifestyle, someone's sin, someone's situation without getting to know them.
God forgive me when
I judge the whole based on my experience.
God forgive me when
I walk away from the needy, the people not like me, the Church because I find fault.
God forgive me when
I forget I have been forgiven greatly to show mercy and love.
In the name of Jesus Christ, You are forgiven. Glory to God in the highest!
ReplyDeleteI love your prayer! Maybe you should do it for a living =)
Thanks be to God.
ReplyDeleteIt was a prayer born out of frustration from listening to others complain about injustices to themselves when they have it pretty good. Then I realized I have said the same things they were saying at one point or another. I complain in my heart life is unfair. And I realized I needed some forgiveness before I continued in conversation with others. So this prayer is pretty raw. Maybe that is why it is a "well written" prayer.
