You judge our thoughts before they are formed into sentences.
You judge our motives and hidden agendas.
Those around us judge our actions by their preconceptions.
Only you know the truth in us.
Do we even know ourselves except to be very imperfect?
We know that we desperately need your grace but how do you judge us harshly when your unconditional love and patience is greater than your desire to punish us?
And what do you do when those who judge us pass on their opinion and it affects our lives and our future?
“Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men? No, in your heart you devise injustice.” Psalm 58:1, 2
So Father, as the widow who begged for justice do what is right in our lives.
You do not treat us our sins deserve.
So do we have right to alter the lives of people around us by our judgment on their lives?
Give us justice. Silence the mouths who wish to harm us even with their “best intentions”.
You are our judge and judge every day. Bring what is right in our lives.
