Steer Me

"Steer me from stereotypes and snap judgments Lord Jesus"
This is yet another prayer in a long line of prayers my mama sent me. I've been praying it quite often but ended up concentrating on it this morning. I was blessed with another image created by it in my mind.
I'm driving in a car and there are exits leading off the main road that I'm on. Some to the left and some to the right. They are all exits that lead to stereotypes of people or snap judgements about them. I have to stay on the main road and not allow myself, with God's help and guidance, to exit off into these areas.
I have stereotyped people for a long time. The place I have the hardest time with it is in the car. If I see a member of one group or another and they aren't driving the way I think they should a nasty stereotypical statement will sometimes come out of my mouth. Even though i am alone in the car it is something that has to stop.
With god's help it will
