Against Criticisms

Lord, forgive me for the times
I have criticized other people
In order to inflate my own importance.
Believing everything I hear about others
Judging my fellowmen with prejudice.
I have condemned one often in his absence
Defenseless of himself.
I have exaggerated his faults
When I should have kept silent.
I have forgotten everyone makes mistakes
That one has his own motives or intentions.
Often forgetting that as I judge others
So will You judge me in the end.
Amen.

Bible Inspiration: Ephesians 4:29
Never let evil talk pass your lips; say only the good things men need to hear, things that will really help them.
