When pride comes [boiling up with an arrogant attitude of self-importance], then come dishonor and shame,But with the humble [the teachable who have been chiseled by trial and who have learned to walk humbly with God] there is wisdom and soundness of mind.—Proverbs 11:2 (AMP)
Heavenly Father,
Help me to keep a genuinely humble heart—so that in my humility I would find wisdom and live my life with soundness of mind, in Christ.
Save me from any hint of
pride that would boil up from within me, out of an arrogant attitude of
self-importance—so that I would not bring dishonor to You while heaping shame
upon myself.
Keep me mindful that any
good that is in me is not by my own design or effort, but rather by Your grace
and gifting—and is intended to empower me to do good works that would bring You glory, honor and praise.
Remind me that You didn’t
grant me gifts and talents to make me look good—but rather that others might
see Christ in me and be drawn into an intimate, personal relationship with You.
Continue to teach me to
put all my trust in You, as You carry me through the trials that You allow me
to face—that in all things I would make very little of myself and very much of
You, and find all of my value revealed in Christ alone.
Help me to keep a genuinely humble heart—so that in my humility I would find wisdom and live my life with soundness of mind, in Christ.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
