Lord I'm not perfect and you know so. I'm so sorry I made decisions without confirming from you. Please forgive me,I know that the Bible says "God hates a proud person".
Lord please I don't want you to hate me. I feel so empty without your spirit. I love the prayers and humble words that you have said Joida you said my feelings also I didn't know have a pride full sprit and not sure how to humble my self and not feel like a foney need spelling lessons to.
Help me to continue to be obedient to your will. All I can say is thank You. And all I can give You is my life. Dear God, you told me to humble down but I never understood what it meant and I now repent of all my actions of pride and ask you to forgive me because of your steadfast love and multitude of your tender mercies please wash away all my transgressions. Am sorry and please turn things around for me again, in Jesus name I pray Amen.
Dear God , Help me to humble myself. Make me a child of yours. Forgive me father for I continue to fail you everyday.
Help me Lord. If it is your will heal me Lord and I will promise to serve you the way you deserve to be served. I will give it my all and will go out and speak your word.
I ask you theses thing in Jesus name. These verses and others like them indicate that it is God who works in us to bring us to a place of repentance, but we need to receive it in humility. Humility is not denying our gifts and talents. It is not walking around afraid to be bold. It is not living a doormat life.
It is so much more. It is the way we relate to God and others. This word also translates as gentleness, which means acting in a manner of kindness and even-temperedness.
The first definition helps us relate to God and the second helps us relate to others. The Greek word for humility is similar to the first definition of the Hebrew word. Humility means remembering how God redeemed us and made us whole and right before him because of Jesus Christ. Humility in the role of a Christian means that we maintain a subordination to God in Christ. Jesus said in Matthew that a servant is not above his master nor a student above his teacher.
We can remember this every time the stars come out and realize that God spoke those stars into existence. He accounts for every hair on our head and grain of sand on the shore.
We are not equal to God and humility helps us keep that in perspective. Humility is a life not based on perceived rights. Humility does not feel a right to better treatment than Jesus received. Yes, people flocked to his ministry, but in the end, his humbling acceptance of persecution and betrayal with eventual death led to glory—the resurrection over death and reconciling us to his Father.
We need humility to assert this truth in service to Christ as we love others not our own ego. Humility in the role of a Christian means holding loosely to the need to be right.
It enables us to not take success or failure too seriously. Humility helps us lose self-obsession and instead learn to have a healthy self-awareness. This life holds troubles that vary in intensity based on the seasons of life we find ourselves in. God gives us wisdom and he directs our steps. We need to recognize our need for him in every aspect of our lives and to come humbly to receive his grace, strength, and power for living.
Another reason why we need to make humbling ourselves before the Lord a regular practice is because of the two-sided reality of following Christ. We are complete in Christ, yet we are becoming more like him. We have the status of kings and the duties of a servant. We know the presence of Christ but experience the pressure of sin.
We are made right with God through Christ, yet we experience daily problems where we fail to make the right choices. Isaiah, the Old Testament prophet, a man called by God, yet so aware of his sinfulness in the presence of an Almighty Holy God teaches us how to humble ourselves.
Thanks for taking time to acknowledge our thoughts! I shared your article to some people who are not Internet savvy or have less access to the Internet. It is truly worth revisiting it, and reading it flows like a prayer within the heart. Praising God for this post.
This was confirmation of everything the Lord was speaking to my heart about. The Lord wants all of my trust…not just some of it. He wants us to leave all of our worries at his feet. In doing so, it is honoring him in obedience. Good morning, I also have never done this before! My situation is my husband of 28 years who was a Christian packed his bags and left me 2 years ago whilst I was at an evening church service. We had been going through a rough patch and I went to my church oversight for help and they thought it would sort its self out.

Thank You Mike I really deep down think that is what we need to do is find a church home. I have my child hood church back in my hometown that I am a member at and vice versa for my husband. We leave quite a distance from mine or his. We do read the bible and occasionally go to physical church. Ive been brought up in the traditional church. Hey Beckann, thanks so much for sharing.

I would like to share a moment in my life, I once had to let go of someone I truly loved and I chosed God instead. My mom says that I need to humble myself to god but never have I been prideful …. I love god and I do trust that he will answer my prayers but at the same time I do feel upset because he sees me hurt he sees me suffer yet its been months since I was happy.

No one has ever said that a life of faith was fair. Was it fair for Christ to be persecuted and die the most unimaginable death for you and me? Fairness is relative.

So be merciful and God will be merciful. I came across this website because I was looking for answers to see if I was humbling myself correctly. I am one day 2 of an intended 7 day fast for deliverance for my son.
It appears he is losing his mind. We have been to multiple psychiatrists, 2 neurologists, 2 pyschologists, had multiple lab works done, had an MRI done, multiple prescriptions, you name it.
The psychiatrists could agree on nothing except billing us excessively. Not one ever even gave us a guess, I mean, diagnosis. His Goodness is shown through His Son, Jesus. Thank you Mike. Fortunately, my son does know the Lord. That is part of the reason we are all so perplexed. All of the children were taught of the Lord. In fact, he still reads the Bible.
It was his idea to fast in the first place based on Matt No, the issue with my son is needing a miracle healing. That will be found no where on earth.

Thank You for sharing. On several occasions God has proved himself to me. He taught me how to trust in him Ps for my promotion at work place and it happened even when my boss wanted to bring another person for the position. Am trusting him for something very great now and he just reminded me this morning how he gave me something I so much desired in the past.
