Pastoral Prayer

Dear God, we get caught up in the information we receive and make our judgments based on what others tell us. Save us from judgment based on hearsay and not facts. Help us to know how to respond to those in need, those in prison, those around us. Help us to live our lives in grace and forgiveness and leave the judging up to you. Amen.

[This was from last week's church bulletin. The topic was Schapelle Corby - is she guilty as charged? Pastor used to think so. Now he's changed his mind after reading her account in SCHAPELLE CORBY, MY STORY.]
