Prayer about Humility
Introduction
Prayer is an essential tool for spiritual guidance and personal progress. It provides us with an outlet to communicate with God and express our innermost thoughts and feelings. Prayer is not only a mechanism for seeking forgiveness or assistance but also deeply enriches our understanding of life and our place within it. It enables us to explore our weaknesses, strengths, and everything else that makes us human.
Prayer
Dear Lord, I am humbly before You today, recognizing my need for humility. It is not always an easy path to follow; sometimes, the world’s noise can encourage me to seek personal elevation instead of humility. But I know that to be truly like You, Lord, I must strive to be the servant of all.
I pray, Lord, that you help me to decrease, so You may increase. Allow me to not think of myself less, but to think less of myself. I wish not to be noticed or applauded; indeed, let only You shine through me.
Kindly grant me strength not to seek validation and approval from others, but only from You. May the desire for human praises never outshine my desire for Your approval. Guide me in all my ways, that every step, every decision, and every thought reflect Your love and humility.
Lord, nurture in me a humble heart, one that is content and full of gratitude. Teach me to listen more, talk less, and to lift others before myself. I resolve to embrace humility daily, to make others feel loved and cherished.
Conclusion
Practicing humility is a process, and prayer can be great company along the journey. Humility gives us the proper perspective of ourselves and prepares us to receive the grace of God. Through prayer, we can surrender our ego and pride and invite more grace into our lives.
