It takes a certain amount of self-awareness to realize one needs mercy from God.
Lots of people think they're doing great. They remind themselves that they haven't killed anyone lately, they aren't molesting children, or robbing banks at gunpoint.
But let's be brutally honest about our lack of morality. Each of us do wrong, whether it's speeding in our car and breaking a law, downloading things illegally, having lustful thoughts, hating someone, wishing misfortune upon someone... none of us are really deserving in OUR OWN MERIT to receive eternal life from God.
I think a big part of enjoying life to its fullest is taking an honest appraisal of our own shortcomings, owning these failings (ie, not blaming others for them), and asking for mercy from God.
We can then truly be thankful to God and "exalt him," and to desire his glory over all the earth.
Imagine, JUST IMAGINE, an earth where we are honest with ourselves and each other, and seek mercy and forgiveness!
Amen.

Psalm 57
Praise and Assurance under Persecution
To the leader: Do Not Destroy. Of David. A Miktam, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.
1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
until the destroying storms pass by.
2 I cry to God Most High,
to God who fulfils his purpose for me.
3 He will send from heaven and save me,
he will put to shame those who trample on me.Selah
God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness.
4 I lie down among lions
that greedily devour[a] human prey;
their teeth are spears and arrows,
their tongues sharp swords.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth.
6 They set a net for my steps;
my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my path,
but they have fallen into it themselves.Selah
7 My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast.
I will sing and make melody.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn.
9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the clouds.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth.
