I see hypocrisy with myself every day. I know what the Bible says, I know what my actions are, and I see how they don't line up.
The right thing to do, of course, is to ask for God's help to overcome those things. But don't forget, we are saved by God's grace, not how well we can stop sinning. Strive to serve God because you want to honor him for saving you. But when you slip, it's not over. Your salvation hasn't been lost. Get back on track and keep trying.

I think the term 'hypocrite' is misused today, as are the terms 'judge' and 'grace'. Essentially, I would only feel like a hypocrite if I were telling someone to stop a sin that I, myself, am doing or if I were to present myself as perfect (or believe myself to be). Since I do not do either of these, I do not struggle with feeling like a hypocrite.
Looking at the word of God and feeling conviction because you are not doing what it says does not make you a hypocrite. It makes you human and it means that you are sensitive to Holy Spirit. I tell you now that hypocrites are not sensitive and a hypocrite will never feel that they are one. They feel justified in telling others what they're doing is wrong while doing the same sinful things in their own life. Acting. Pretending. That is being a hypocrite. If you are not doing this, then don't allow the world or the devil put labels on you.
