00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.139
Prayer Against Pride Heavenly Father, I come

00:00:05.139 --> 00:00:08.439
before you with a sincere and humble heart, recognizing

00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.060
that pride is a sin that separates me from you.

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:17.120
Your word says in Proverbs 16, 18, Pride goes

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.940
before destruction and a haughty spirit before

00:00:19.940 --> 00:00:23.859
a fall. Lord, I do not want to walk in pride

00:00:23.859 --> 00:00:27.890
or arrogance. I ask you to search my heart. and

00:00:27.890 --> 00:00:30.570
remove any spirit of pride that tries to take

00:00:30.570 --> 00:00:35.109
root in me. You resist the proud, but give grace

00:00:35.109 --> 00:00:40.590
to the humble, as written in James 4 .6. I choose

00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:44.409
humility, Lord. I submit myself under your mighty

00:00:44.409 --> 00:00:48.409
hand, so that in due time you may lift me up.

00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:54.170
1 Peter 5 .6. Help me to esteem others better

00:00:54.170 --> 00:00:57.740
than myself. and to walk in love and service,

00:00:58.060 --> 00:01:02.259
just as Christ did. Your word says in Proverbs

00:01:02.259 --> 00:01:26.769
8 .13, Lord, You have said in Micah 6 -8 that

00:01:26.769 --> 00:01:30.849
You require me to do justly, to love mercy, and

00:01:30.849 --> 00:01:34.689
to walk humbly with Your God. Teach me to walk

00:01:34.689 --> 00:01:38.469
in true humility, not weakness, but strength

00:01:38.469 --> 00:01:42.269
under control and full dependence on You. Let

00:01:42.269 --> 00:01:46.230
me always remember John 15 -5. Apart from me,

00:01:46.670 --> 00:01:49.909
You can do nothing. Everything I have and everything

00:01:49.909 --> 00:01:53.260
I am is because of You, Lord. Keep me from ever

00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:55.900
thinking that I can succeed or grow apart from

00:01:55.900 --> 00:01:59.500
your grace and presence. Help me to follow the

00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:03.280
example of Jesus, who made himself of no reputation,

00:02:03.939 --> 00:02:07.019
and humbled himself and became obedient to the

00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:11.240
point of death. Philippians 2 .7 .8. Let the

00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:15.879
same mindset be in me. Father, I renounce pride

00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.699
in all its forms. Spiritual pride, intellectual

00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:23.169
pride, and pride of appearance, achievements,

00:02:23.669 --> 00:02:27.310
or position. Cleanse me and clothe me in the

00:02:27.310 --> 00:02:30.349
humility of Christ. Thank you for your mercy

00:02:30.349 --> 00:02:33.969
and thank you for transforming my heart. Let

00:02:33.969 --> 00:02:37.729
everything I do reflect your glory, not my own.

00:02:38.569 --> 00:02:41.090
In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
