“Trust in the Lord”, Daily Reflection and Prayer for Saturday August 23rd 2025
Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
Reflection:
This verse challenges us to examine how we treat others, reminding us that judgment and condemnation only bring more judgment and condemnation upon ourselves. It calls us to approach others with mercy and forgiveness, embodying the grace we wish to receive. Living without judgment frees us from bitterness and allows us to build more compassionate and understanding relationships.
Action:
Today, make a conscious effort to withhold judgment and criticism, especially when you feel tempted to be harsh. Practice forgiveness toward someone who has wronged you or whom you find difficult to love. Reflect on how this changes your heart and your interactions.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to follow Your command to judge not, condemn not, but to forgive. Teach me to see others through Your eyes of love and mercy. Grant me the grace to release all judgment and to extend forgiveness freely, so that I may receive Your forgiveness and peace. Amen.
