Day 25 - The Log in the Eye

On Day 25 we pray Matthew 7:3-4 asking that God would give us eyes to see our own hypocrisy.Content adapted from https://ramadan.prayer.tools/fuel/25Transcript:Today’s scripture is Matthew 7: 3-4 “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. “ It is very easy for us to come into a conflict blaming the other person for causing the problem. When we do that we fail to realize that we also have a part in the conflict. Our sinful hearts betray us when we only cast blame. Let’s pray for those in Muslim countries today that their hypocrisy, like ours, would be revealed and that they would turn to Jesus as the true way to make peace. Father, you know that it is easier to point the finger at others than it is to acknowledge our own sinfulness before You. As a people, we are deeply broken. Today, as we focus our prayers on those who follow Islam, we are asking that You would start revealing to them what is really in their hearts. Give them eyes to see their own hypocrisy. (And give us eyes to see ours as well). We are a people who need You with every fiber of our being. Help us, Father… In Jesus’ name, Amen.
