Prayer Against Pride Heavenly Father, I come
before you with a sincere and humble heart, recognizing
that pride is a sin that separates me from you.
Your word says in Proverbs 16, 18, Pride goes
before destruction and a haughty spirit before
a fall. Lord, I do not want to walk in pride
or arrogance. I ask you to search my heart. and
remove any spirit of pride that tries to take
root in me. You resist the proud, but give grace
to the humble, as written in James 4 .6. I choose
humility, Lord. I submit myself under your mighty
hand, so that in due time you may lift me up.
1 Peter 5 .6. Help me to esteem others better
than myself. and to walk in love and service,
just as Christ did. Your word says in Proverbs
8 .13, Lord, You have said in Micah 6 -8 that
You require me to do justly, to love mercy, and
to walk humbly with Your God. Teach me to walk
in true humility, not weakness, but strength
under control and full dependence on You. Let
me always remember John 15 -5. Apart from me,
You can do nothing. Everything I have and everything
I am is because of You, Lord. Keep me from ever
thinking that I can succeed or grow apart from
your grace and presence. Help me to follow the
example of Jesus, who made himself of no reputation,
and humbled himself and became obedient to the
point of death. Philippians 2 .7 .8. Let the
same mindset be in me. Father, I renounce pride
in all its forms. Spiritual pride, intellectual
pride, and pride of appearance, achievements,
or position. Cleanse me and clothe me in the
humility of Christ. Thank you for your mercy
and thank you for transforming my heart. Let
everything I do reflect your glory, not my own.
In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
