If I am tempted to talk about someone, it would be better to gossip to God instead of others. I find that when I talk to God about others He turns my prayers about them into prayers for them. My prayers for grace and mercy for them are often changed into prayers for us. Father has a way of reminding us that the faults we so easily see in others are often disguised in our own thoughts and actions. This is why Jesus told us to pray for us and our, instead of them and theirs.
