Counter Chaos with Grace
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.—Psalm 51:10 (NIV)
Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.—Matthew 7:5 (NKJV)
It’s been said that many of the flaws you find in others are your own flaws reflected in them. When you are being judgmental of someone in your life, look to yourself. Ask God to show you the “plank in your eye” and to to help you focus on your own spiritual healing and growth.
Heavenly Father, help me be a better person. Show me the plank in my eye.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.—Psalm 51:10 (NIV)

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.—PSALM 34:7 (NIV)

“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.”—Mark 11:23 (NIV)
