Commentary on this Week’s Prayer
How quick we are condemn. We easily change our allegiances and loyalties when our feelings are hurt. We want things our way, and we want it fast. If our needs are not met we condemn. Jesus shows us a much different way. As we pray this week may we too be as merciful to others at God is towards us.
