PSALM 7:6-11
JOHN 7:37-52
Merciful God,
In this time of uncertainty and divisiveness,
we, like the crowds witnessing Jesus,
are prevented by our petty prejudices
from recognizing him as the Messiah.
Like the Pharisees, our self-regard
leads us to condemn others while
blinding us to our own faults.
Help us to recognize your presence in our
lives, to acknowledge our shortcomings,
and to strive not to condemn, but
lovingly to support each other in our
quest to serve and follow you.
Amen.
