Philippians 2:3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.

I really struggle with pride. I am always putting myself ahead of others. I love myself more than I love others and more importantly God. I am selfish. I try to impress others, even the ones I don't think highly off. I don't love or care about them, but I want them to be in awe of me. I want to be seen as their leader, as smarter, as better, etc. I am not humble.

-God please forgive my pride. Help me to love others and think of them as better than myself. We are all created in your image, and you have said "when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me (Matt. 25:40)." God I want to love you that much. Forgive me, and strengthen me through your son to be able to work through my sins to love you beyond my pride.-
