*_For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted._*

(Luke 14:11)

*Prayer :*

I admit that in my flesh I often seek people’s appreciation and recognition.

Teach me to follow in Jesus’ footsteps, to walk in humility, even when humiliated.
I need Your help to be free from the desire to flaunt my own importance before others.

Grant me the freedom to gracefully refuse honors and accept humiliations with calmness.

Help me to be mindful of others’ needs, to step back and allow them to take the spotlight.
I choose a lowly place, trusting that You will draw me closer to You.
In Jesus’ name, AMEN.

*_Happy Sabbath_*
