I’m struggling between what the Bible says about not judging others, since everyone has sin, and admonishing friends who are clearly doing something wrong. Can you help me understand this better? The answer to this question is drawn from the two passages being referenced.  Matthew 7 (as well as Luke 6) contain the teachings from Jesus to not judge others.

How can we learn to accept ourselves?

…in other words, what if I say am I sorry to God (sincerely) — and say that I won’t do it again — but when the opportunity comes around, I do it again? And that cycle keeps happening!  What do I do? This question applies to every single person taking a breath of air this very moment! Yes, we are all call in a cycle of repeating sin, even after we sincerely ask for forgiveness from God and determine to not do it again. So if that is true, why bother trying anyways?

How do you change your habits and thinking?

By

First off, change is really possible. Second, change is hard because it takes work and time. Third, changing our behavior, permanently, often requires more than just will power; it requires a change in our thinking and the state of our heart. So, if you really want to change, I suggest you do the following: Evaluate the behaviors you want to change. Be honest by comparing them to Scripture.
