Personal Prayer
Praise God as the high and lofty One who lives forever, who lives in a high and holy place, but also with those who are contrite and lowly in spirit (Isa. 57:15). Thank him for choosing the lowliness of the cross to show his power and wisdom to the world (1 Cor. 1:20-25). Confess any resistance on your part to sharing in the humility of the gospel. Commit yourself to laying your pride daily before the feet of Christ. Ask Jesus to help you empty yourself in service to God, as he did (Philippians 2).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray against any rifts between family members that you know of, that the spirit of pride may be defeated and relationships be restored in a spirit of humility and love.

For the Church
Ask that your church’s outreach ministries be done in a spirit of humility that sees the beauty of Jesus in everyone who is served (Mt. 25:34-40).

For the Kingdom
Pray that the leaders of your country will be given the humility to seek wisdom and strength from God for their tasks.

For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to break down the spiritual blindness of unsaved friends, enabling them to see the power and wisdom of the cross.
