Jesus, self-righteousness is pride and pride is the opposite of love and humility, so please give me love and humility today. Help me not to criticize or condemn others, but to love and forgive and encourage. You said, "I will have mercy and not sacrifice." Help me to have that kind of love for others, to be quick to forgive others' sins and shortcomings, as You have forgiven me. Help me to be as merciful to others as You are to me. Amen.
