My Prayer
Dear God, I come before you today and humbly ask for your guidance and strength. Your Word reminds me to humble myself under your mighty hand, trusting in your perfect plan for my life. Help me to fully surrender to your will and not rely solely on my own strength and understanding.
Lord, I confess that sometimes I find it difficult to let go of control and trust in your timing. But I know that you are sovereign and that your ways are higher than my ways. Help me to have a heart that is willing to submit to your plan and trust in your unfailing love and grace.
I pray that you would give me the courage and strength to live a life of humility, always seeking to honor you above all else. May I be a reflection of your love and mercy to those around me, and may my life bring glory to your name.
Thank you for your constant presence in my life and for your faithfulness to me. I trust in you, Lord, and I know that you will lift me up in due time. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
