Day 5: Humble Yourself

SCRIPTURE:

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up. JAMES 4:10

 

PRAYER:

“God, You have promised that if I humble myself before You, You will lift me up. I recognize today that I cannot succeed on my own, and I need You in every moment. I humble myself before You, and I ask You to work in and through me today. My time, efforts, thoughts, and words are Yours today (name specific parts of your day and give them to God). Show me what I don’t know, and help me grow in the knowledge of You and Your heart for people. Use me for Your purposes, Lord. I trust that You will be with me and lift me up.”

 

 

 

When you decide to set aside time to pray, do these four steps:

1) Pause. Turn off distractions, notifications, and find a quiet spot to focus for the next few minutes.

2) Listen. Read the Scripture, use the provided prayer, or make up your own, but use this time to hear from God. What is standing out to you? What is God saying to you?

3) Obey. Based on your prayer time, what is God inviting you to do? How can you obey? Come up with something specific (small and simple is great)

4) Share. Who does God want you to share this with? Share with them what stood out to you from today, or share with them whatever God put on your heart.
