Day 30 - Prayer Challenge – 30 minutes The Spirit of Humility Matthew 23:12 ~ And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. James 4:10 ~ Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. Walking in humility means putting aside your sense of entitlement and clothing yourself with the understanding that there is nothing that we deserve. How can we be submissive, gentle, patient, and long-suffering without humility? How can we be willing to do the Lords will if our hearts are full of pride? We cant. We must develop true humility to be able to subject ourselves to all of Gods Word!! Prayer Points • Lord Jesus, I must begin my day today by confessing that my heart has often been deceived into thinking that I am living a life of humble service when in reality I am not. Please forgive me of my motivations which were selfish and prideful. • Thank You that you are showing me that my feelings of inadequacy are actually good because they keep me from becoming self-centered but God-centered. • Lord, let me put you first, seeking to serve you at the expense of my own advances. I see you richly reward me with your own reflection shining brightly out of me. • I am so grateful I do not wait for my own strength to surface, but instead, rely on your strength to point me in the right direction. • I pray today that I will become more like Jesus than I was yesterday. I pray I will be unafraid to act in obedience when I hear you call. • Please never let me misuse the gifts you have given me. • Lord, don’t let me become a stumbling block to anyone because I claimed authority that you did not give me. Help me to never do anything that could bring harm to others by stepping out in anything other than the authority of the Holy Spirit. • Please, I beg you to keep me humble in heart, grant me the nature of a true servant, and give me discernment and wisdom to be able to take my stand against Satan and his evil attempts to counterfeit and destroy that which you have been preparing for me. • Finally, Jesus, please keep me honest by recognizing that a true, humble servant of God is someone who is in agreement with what you are doing. • Remind me that true humility is the exact opposite of powerlessness. True humility empowers and strengthens and casts out fears. • Thank You for reminding me and keeping me pure and motivated by my devotion to you. In Jesus name, Amen!
