Personal Prayer
Praise God for his non-condemning attitude (Jn. 8:10-11), which gives you hope when you fail. Give thanks for help in seeing the “plank” in your own eyes before looking at the “specks” in another’s (Mt. 7:3). Confess the many times you judge by appearance rather than by facts (Jn. 7:24). Commit yourself to God’s judgment (1 Cor. 11:32), and be disciplined by him, learning from your mistakes (Heb. 12:10-11). Ask God to help you learn from other’s judgments of you.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for God’s help to be generous in affirming your family and friends, rather than misjudging them or their motives (Ps. 119:66).

For the Church
Pray that your church will warmly welcome anyone, regardless of race, color, financial resources, etc., and take the lead in having all guests feel welcome (Heb. 13:1-2).

For the Kingdom
Pray that sound judgment and discernment will be preserved throughout God’s kingdom (Prov. 3:21), resulting in kingdom growth.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that your loving and nonjudgmental attitude toward one who has wronged you will give you opportunity to present Christ to that person, realizing God will bring every deed into judgment (Eccl. 12:14).
