Stride Confidently toward Humility - A Nightime Prayer

“Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ‘God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’” – 1 Peter 5:5 (RSV)

Please Pray:

God, all the talents and resources I have come from you, and today I’ve had chances to bless others with them. Some of them thanked me, some of them didn’t, and I don’t think any of it will add up to what we call influence in this world. And yet, this world is full of You and Your work, which makes it a beautiful place to do whatever You allow me to do. Remind me again that walking humbly in the place where You have placed me is the best way to spend my days, and when I wake tomorrow guide me in humility. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

    Carlene started writing professionally when she was 20 years old and has finally agreed with God that she’s a writer, not just a “hack for hire.” She has worked as a journalist, a ghostwriter, a grant writer, the editor of New England Church Life and The New England Christian, a marketing project manager, and a fundraiser for nonprofit organizations. Her award-winning marketing communications describe traffic signal systems, roads, bridges, and water treatment plants. She’s written about Australian opals, Indian wedding wear, North American hockey memorabilia, and how to repair antique steam-powered farm equipment. She’s curious enough to explore almost anything, and grateful that wherever she goes, God is already there. She looks across woods and a marsh from her writing desk in small town Maine, just a few miles from her family’s third-generation wild blueberry farm.
