My theory is that if I could\u00a0pray as fast as I might judge someone that I would be stepping in the right\u00a0direction on the road to holiness. I might observe someone&#8217;s actions or read a\u00a0news story and instantly I have framed the motives for the action of the person\u00a0or persons involved, sometimes I then remember to pray. I don&#8217;t mean rash in the\u00a0sense of ill-considered haste but in it&#8217;s meaning as boldness. Usually I have\u00a0what I call the &#8220;binocular effect&#8221;; if I look through the binoculars at someone\u00a0else&#8217;s sins they are magnified but if I look through the front of the binoculars\u00a0towards my own sins they are reduced and minimized. This is exactly backwards\u00a0and the Saints demonstrated the correct view over and over in again in regards\u00a0to themselves and others. Sometimes I feel like such a hypocrite when I do remember to pray for others. When I think about the lumberyard in my own eyes it\u00a0makes it difficult to do what all of us are called to. To pray for others you\u00a0must do it based on a foundation of personal prayer and openness to grace. Lord\u00a0give me the grace to put down the stone and walk\u00a0away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am trying to develop the habit of rash prayer.
