Praying from James 4:11 relating to Judging, Law, Brotherhood.

Dear God, please help us to remember to not speak against our brothers and sisters. May we resist the urge to judge them and instead show them love and kindness. We know that when we speak against others, we are also speaking against your law. Please guide us to be doers of your law and not judges. Help us to see others through your eyes and to treat them with the same grace and mercy that you have shown us. Amen.

Verse: Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
James 4:11

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader not to speak against their brothers and warns that doing so is speaking against the law. It also cautions against judging others, as it goes against being a doer of the law.
