Bullying

Lord, please forgive me for making fun of others. Sometimes I feel so insecure with myself that I find things wrong with everyone else, just to make myself feel better. After gossiping about someone, I feel better for a while, but then I feel guilty about it. Sometimes I make fun of somebody without noticing what I'm doing. It's a bad habit, and I know it's wrong. Help me not to get wrapped up in the moment when I'm the center of attention, feeling popular and cool, and make the wrong decision. I want to start following you more closely; I need to start treating others as I would like to be treated. Please forgive me for making fun of others and help me to be strong enough to resist this temptation. Amen. -Anna
