Eating Humble Pie - A Nighttime Prayer


"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." -- Proverbs 16:18

Please Pray:

Dear Lord,

When I struggle with pride, help me to remember one of the Jewish blessings, "Blessed are you, oh Lord our God, King of the Universe, owner of earth and sky." You own everything; we own nothing. Your vastness is incomprehensible, yet you left a magnificent heavenly throne and chose to come to earth and live as a humble human to share in our suffering, and take away our sins. Help me keep this in mind as I navigate my days. In Jesus' name, Amen.
