Today’s Verse:
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged." - Matthew 7:1

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

"Judge not?" We always talk about this and that person around us, which has certain of level of judgement involved. Does that mean we should not TALK about anything at all?

Father, Jesus teaches us that we must judge ourselves, and judge our own acts. We should take Jesus as an example and we should not judge our brothers or sisters. Father, do You know that this is hard, very hard to say than do?!

There are some bible verses which we may study to understand more about Jesus:
- James 3:1-2 Taming the tongue, we are not teachers
- James 4:11 Do not slander
- Romans 14:10 Only God will sit on the judgement seat

Father, sometimes we complain, sometimes we criticise, sometimes we judge rashly, sometimes we talk about our brothers and sisters with no ground, or out of our own jealousy and ill nature. Father, we must not make the worst of people, nor say things to others that they cannot not bear.

Father, we must not judge the hearts of others, nor their intentions. Father, change us, mold us, help us to see Jesus as our righteous example. Father, teach us to meditate on your words everyday, as our devotion to You daily.

In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
