Jesus, I am a proud person. I admit that I am not always teachable, and there are many times that I am quick to judge and criticize people. I also fail at listening first, yet so quick at being angry and impatient. As I reflected, I also realized that I think too highly of myself. I feel like I know better and am always better because I do enough good work. But thank You, God, for calling my attention. I know that You have put me in this situation to humble me.
Today, I am humbling myself before You, Lord. I am sorry that it took me so long to recognize this proud heart of mine. It took me so long to notice that I was hurting people because of my pride that I often would not back down to defend myself. There are also many times that I excluded You in my life decisions because I thought that I could control everything. I am so sorry, and I am now repenting.
I admit I was wrong, and today, I am embracing You as my Lord and Savior. I invite You as the Lord of my life. Thank You because even when I was unworthy, You came down from heaven to die for me. Even when I was at my worst, You showered me with blessings upon blessings. The least I can do is to worship You the way You deserve to be.
Lord Jesus, I pray for a heart that knows nothing but to honor You in every way I can. I pray that I will always choose to humble myself so You alone will be exalted. I know I can only do things out of my love for You, so please teach me how to love You genuinely. It is only You Who will enable me and strengthen me to do this. Thank You, and I surrender to You my life. In Jesus’ name, amen.
