Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart willing to learn and grow. I recognize that without You, I am nothing. I invite You into my life, asking You to cultivate within me, a spirit of humility and modesty.
Lord, guide me in understanding that the gifts and opportunities I am blessed with are a demonstration of Your unrelenting love and not my merits. Remind me to stay grounded, not to see myself better than others but to love and serve just as You did for us.
Help me, oh Lord, to always keep my faith in You central to my life. May I not be swayed by pride or vanity, and instead, remain modest in my actions and thoughts. Teach me to show true humility, looking always to the interests of others in a spirit of selfless love.
May I embody the humbleness You displayed, Lord, laying down Your glory to bear the sins of the world. Develop in me an understanding of genuine modesty, that I would find joy in serving others rather than glorifying myself.
Thank you, Lord, for your patient instruction and steadfast love. I pray all these things in Your mighty and holy name. Amen.
