Reflection

“When looking at faults, use a mirror, not a telescope.” –Yazid Ibrahim

Prayer

Compassionate God,

We are prone to overlook our own faults while pointing out the smallest flaws in others. Give us wisdom to see in new ways. Help us recognize our own faults with clarity and to reflect upon them in constructive and healthy directions. And when it comes to the flaws in others, help us to cultivate grace and compassion that leads us to strengthen our bonds together, just as you have shown us grace and compassion, inviting us ever so gently to a deeper experience of wholeness. Amen.

Call to Action

Be more concerned today with the changes I need to make for myself, rather than thinking critically about others.
