A Humble Heart

SCRIPTURE

 

1 Peter 5:6

"So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor."

 

 

PRAYER

 

Lord, I ask that you would keep ______'s heart soft and easily molded by your hand. I pray that he would not be occupied with the need to be honored by people, but that he would long for your approval and smile. I pray that his humble spirit would so groom the substance of his heart that when the heat of adversity comes, it would soften his heart like wax rather than harden it like clay. May that softness take away some of the pain of your work, and give you an open space to work in his life. And I pray that as others see the clear marks of your shaping hand, that he would receive honor at just the right time. Amen.

 

ENCOURAGEMENT

 

Concentrate on cultivating a genuine humility in your own heart. Leave the honoring to God. He will work his miracles in his own time.
