Dear God,

We think we know all there is to know about a situation.  We draw conclusions.  We make judgments.  BUT then you come bringing us more news.

It is so easy to judge, to believe what we think we know.  So often we fall prey to judgmentalism thinking we are so smart, so clever.  We make decisions and then enact them only to learn we were not as smart as we thought we were.

O Lord, we forget to see through the lens of faith.  We fail to acknowledge you as the power source of faith.  We forfeit opportunities to watch and see, to listen and learn and to follow and obey.  We realize we cannot be both judge and jury.  Rather we are children of faith who follow the One who gives us faith. 

Forgive us,
Father,
for our
judgmental ways.
Please forgive us
for playing God.
We need you.

Love always, Andrea
