Beyond Criticism

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths beyond the criticism of others and into the building up upon the crest of goodness and love that comes with the pride of righteous belief and actions as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
