Prayer Focus: Humility
Daily Prayer Line (7:00 – 7:15 a.m.) – 515.739.1030 x324-346-203
"Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being? declares the Lord. These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word." Isaiah 66:2
Also read: Psalm 149:4 and James 4:6
Thought
Jesus, who left heaven and made himself a servant, did so to enable the last to be first, the servant to be greatest, and the least to be the best. Jesus came to be the perfect example that we can follow and pattern our lives after. He was humble in every way, but for ages, the arrogant, the abusive and the powerful have found it easy to reject the call of Christ — after all he died and they're "important" and have no need for a Savior. But those who are humble find him to not only be Savior, but also Conqueror, King, and Friend. I humbly submit that I cannot do anything without Him (John 15:5).
Prayer
Most Gracious and Heavenly Father, I readily admit that I am nothing without you. Thank you for all that you do in my life. Thank you for life, health, strength, and a sound mind. Thank you for sending your Son to be my example. I need you, every hour, every minute and every second of each and every day. Hide your words in my so I won't fail you. I endeavor to put a smile on your face and be the honorable vessle you destined me to be. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
