Leading with Mercy

Dear Lord, forgive me for judging others. In my tendency to be self-critical, I allow this to infect my view of the world. This outlook constantly robs me of my inner peace and comfort. Instead of seeing your miracles and blessings all around me, I see failings and shortcomings, errors and flaws. Let me always see the good in my neighbors and treat others as I would want to be treated. And let others see in me the image and likeness of God.
