Today, I want to
pray about humility.
00:00:31.59\00:00:33.70
Humility is being comfortable
with who you are in the Lord
00:00:33.73\00:00:37.00
and therefore
putting others first.
00:00:37.03\00:00:39.47
The picture of
humility in the Bible
00:00:39.50\00:00:41.04
is one of a strong
person, one who loves others.
00:00:41.07\00:00:44.34
puts it this way,
00:00:44.37\00:00:48.11
"Do nothing out
of selfish ambition
00:00:48.14\00:00:50.28
or vain conceit,
00:00:50.31\00:00:51.81
but in humility consider
others better than yourself."
00:00:51.85\00:00:55.78
Humility is also recognizing
00:00:55.82\00:00:57.79
that we need
God's help knowing that
00:00:57.82\00:00:59.35
we can't fully understand
00:00:59.39\00:01:01.56
or do anything
in our own strength.
00:01:01.59\00:01:04.03
Humility is thanking God
for our talents, for our gifts,
00:01:04.06\00:01:07.76
for all the things
that He's given us,
00:01:07.80\00:01:09.63
and we give Him credit
for our accomplishments.
00:01:09.66\00:01:13.40
2 Chronicles 7:14 says,
00:01:13.44\00:01:15.97
"If My people who
are called by My name
00:01:16.00\00:01:18.01
shall humble themselves,
and pray and seek My face,
00:01:18.04\00:01:20.91
and turn from their wicked ways,
00:01:20.94\00:01:22.74
then I will hear from heaven,
00:01:22.78\00:01:24.18
and will forgive their
sins and will heal their land."
00:01:24.21\00:01:28.08
What an incredible promise
00:01:28.12\00:01:30.12
from an
incredible Heavenly Father.
00:01:30.15\00:01:33.62
I love this song that
00:01:33.66\00:01:36.16
talks about being unworthy.
00:01:36.19\00:01:41.46
Unworthy am I of the grace
00:01:41.50\00:01:46.97
That He gave
00:01:47.00\00:01:48.94
Unworthy to hold
00:01:48.97\00:01:52.47
To His hand
00:01:52.51\00:01:56.24
Amazed that a King
00:01:56.28\00:01:59.98
Would reach down to a slave
00:02:00.02\00:02:04.29
This love
00:02:04.32\00:02:06.79
I cannot understand
00:02:06.82\00:02:13.23
Unworthy,
00:02:13.26\00:02:17.47
Unworthy,
00:02:17.50\00:02:21.47
A beggar
00:02:21.50\00:02:25.51
In bondage and alone
00:02:25.54\00:02:31.58
But He made me worthy
00:02:31.61\00:02:36.48
And now by His grace
00:02:36.52\00:02:40.69
His mercy has made me
00:02:40.72\00:02:46.66
His own
00:02:46.70\00:02:52.37
Dear Heavenly
Father, thank You so much
00:02:52.40\00:02:55.14
for the gift that You gave
us in sending Your only Son.
00:02:55.17\00:02:59.37
Thank You for the
selfless life He lived
00:02:59.41\00:03:01.88
and for being our example.
00:03:01.91\00:03:04.45
Lord, today I
pray that You will work
00:03:04.48\00:03:06.35
upon each one of our hearts,
00:03:06.38\00:03:08.48
that we might be the
people that You call us to be.
00:03:08.52\00:03:11.35
Help us to live
a life of humility,
00:03:11.39\00:03:14.02
and seek to serve others
rather than to be served.
00:03:14.06\00:03:17.73
I pray that in everything we do,
00:03:17.76\00:03:19.63
we will give the
glory and honor to You
00:03:19.66\00:03:22.06
so that those around
us will be drawn to You.
00:03:22.10\00:03:25.53
Let us not seek to please self,
00:03:25.57\00:03:27.74
but help us keep
our minds focused
00:03:27.77\00:03:29.80
and our heart stayed on You.
00:03:29.84\00:03:32.14
Keep us humble,
00:03:32.17\00:03:33.51
this I pray in Jesus' name.
00:03:33.54\00:03:35.04
Amen.
00:03:35.08\00:03:40.55
Dear Heavenly Father,
00:03:40.58\00:03:41.92
I just ask for a
special dose of humility
00:03:41.95\00:03:44.19
in these last days.
00:03:44.22\00:03:45.75
Father, dying to
self is a daily struggle.
00:03:45.79\00:03:49.69
And it's something
that we all must conquer,
00:03:49.72\00:03:52.73
but we don't have
to conquer it alone
00:03:52.76\00:03:54.53
and we can't conquer it alone.
00:03:54.56\00:03:56.67
So I ask that You
would humble us, Father,
00:03:56.70\00:03:58.93
that You would help us
to continue to die to self
00:03:58.97\00:04:02.04
on a daily basis
00:04:02.07\00:04:03.77
and help us to follow
the pattern that Jesus
00:04:03.81\00:04:07.88
and the example
that Jesus Christ
00:04:07.91\00:04:10.18
has set forth for us.
00:04:10.21\00:04:11.78
Thank You for
hearing this prayer.
00:04:11.81\00:04:13.15
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
00:04:13.18\00:04:18.95
My sorrow and my sickness
00:04:18.99\00:04:24.16
Laid stripes on His back
00:04:24.19\00:04:27.96
My sins caused the blood
00:04:28.00\00:04:32.33
That was shed
00:04:32.37\00:04:36.97
My faults and my failures
00:04:37.01\00:04:41.81
Have woven the crown Of thorns,
00:04:41.84\00:04:48.25
That were wore on His head
00:04:48.28\00:04:55.26
Unworthy,
00:04:55.29\00:04:58.83
Unworthy,
00:04:58.86\00:05:02.63
A beggar
00:05:02.66\00:05:06.40
In bondage and alone
00:05:06.43\00:05:12.51
But He made me worthy
00:05:12.54\00:05:17.61
And now by His grace
00:05:17.65\00:05:22.28
His mercy
00:05:22.32\00:05:25.55
Has made me
00:05:25.59\00:05:28.56
His own
00:05:28.59\00:05:33.29
"The lofty looks of
man shall be humbled,
00:05:33.33\00:05:35.73
the haughtiness of
men shall be bound down,
00:05:35.76\00:05:38.67
and the Lord alone
shall be exalted in that day."
00:05:38.70\00:05:42.34
Father, God, we exalt You today
00:05:42.37\00:05:45.24
because You are good,
00:05:45.27\00:05:46.78
because You are
holy, because You are God,
00:05:46.81\00:05:50.21
because You are our
Creator and our Redeemer,
00:05:50.25\00:05:54.45
and our Sustainer.
00:05:54.48\00:05:56.79
Thank You for who You are.
00:05:56.82\00:05:58.65
And in contrast to that,
00:05:58.69\00:06:00.29
Lord, we repent,
in dust, in ashes,
00:06:00.32\00:06:04.59
realizing that our righteousness
00:06:04.63\00:06:07.60
is as filthy rags.
00:06:07.63\00:06:09.66
Father, today as I
go throughout my day,
00:06:09.70\00:06:13.23
I pray that You
would reveal to me
00:06:13.27\00:06:15.80
any area in my heart
where there is pride,
00:06:15.84\00:06:19.41
any area that has not
been fully given to You,
00:06:19.44\00:06:23.28
would You give me
Your spirit of humility,
00:06:23.31\00:06:26.82
and grace, and love?
00:06:26.85\00:06:29.55
Heavenly Father,
00:06:34.79\00:06:36.12
we come to You today to ask that
00:06:36.16\00:06:37.99
You will empty us of pride,
00:06:38.03\00:06:40.86
arrogance, and self-seeking.
00:06:40.90\00:06:43.30
Empty us of us
00:06:43.33\00:06:45.00
and fill us with
Your Holy Spirit.
00:06:45.03\00:06:47.37
Increase our faith,
00:06:47.40\00:06:49.47
increase our
dependence upon You,
00:06:49.50\00:06:52.24
increase our courage,
Lord, increase our wisdom,
00:06:52.27\00:06:56.64
increase our
humility, dear Father.
00:06:56.68\00:06:59.75
Let us always be mindful that
00:06:59.78\00:07:01.42
we are totally depended
upon You for all things.
00:07:01.45\00:07:05.02
And teach us, Father,
00:07:05.05\00:07:06.55
to depend upon You
00:07:06.59\00:07:08.36
to will and to do
Your good pleasure
00:07:08.39\00:07:10.83
in our lives.
00:07:10.86\00:07:12.59
We ask this in
the name of Jesus.
00:07:12.63\00:07:15.10
Amen.
00:07:15.13\00:07:21.74
Our Father in heaven,
00:07:21.77\00:07:23.44
we want to take this
moment and give You praise,
00:07:23.47\00:07:28.44
Thanksgiving.
00:07:28.48\00:07:29.98
Thank you, Lord, for You,
our God, You are our provider.
00:07:30.01\00:07:36.15
And thank You for
the open invitation
00:07:36.18\00:07:38.29
to come to You
00:07:38.32\00:07:40.26
and to ask as we will receive.
00:07:40.29\00:07:44.33
So as we have faith
and trust in Your Word,
00:07:44.36\00:07:48.90
we come to You asking
for a spirit of humility.
00:07:48.93\00:07:54.30
Father, help us to
surrender completely to You
00:07:54.34\00:07:59.17
so that You can
work in our lives,
00:07:59.21\00:08:02.84
that we may become humble,
00:08:02.88\00:08:06.21
Your humble servants to
be able to fulfill the work
00:08:06.25\00:08:10.79
that You have set before us.
00:08:10.82\00:08:13.29
Thank You, Jesus.
00:08:13.32\00:08:15.62
Thank You, Lord.
00:08:15.66\00:08:16.99
Thank You, Holy Spirit
00:08:17.03\00:08:18.56
for moving in our heights
00:08:18.59\00:08:20.93
and for helping
us to do Your will.
00:08:20.96\00:08:25.73
So we thank You, Lord,
00:08:25.77\00:08:27.84
that today, You
will be walking with us
00:08:27.87\00:08:32.77
and we desire to walk with You.
00:08:32.81\00:08:36.21
We decided to
walk humbly with You.
00:08:36.24\00:08:39.98
So thank You, Lord,
00:08:40.02\00:08:41.35
for all the things
that You have done,
00:08:41.38\00:08:43.42
what You are doing
and what You will do.
00:08:43.45\00:08:46.62
We ask you these
things in Jesus' name.
00:08:46.65\00:08:49.82
Amen.
00:08:49.86\00:08:54.83
Unworthy am I
00:08:54.86\00:08:59.17
Of the glory to come
00:08:59.20\00:09:03.44
Unworthy
00:09:03.47\00:09:06.37
With angels to sing
00:09:06.41\00:09:11.81
I thrill just to know that
00:09:11.85\00:09:15.88
He loved me so much
00:09:15.92\00:09:21.02
Though a pauper,
00:09:21.06\00:09:22.92
I walk with the King
00:09:22.96\00:09:29.73
I'm unworthy,
00:09:29.76\00:09:34.57
I'm unworthy
00:09:34.60\00:09:38.21
I'm just a beggar
00:09:38.24\00:09:43.14
In bondage and alone
00:09:43.18\00:09:49.22
But He made me worthy
00:09:49.25\00:09:54.39
And now by His grace
00:09:54.42\00:09:59.83
His mercy has made me
00:09:59.86\00:10:06.43
His own
00:10:06.47\00:10:12.31
Father, I thank You
that according to Psalm 25:9,
00:10:12.34\00:10:16.01
"You lead the
humble in what is right.
00:10:16.04\00:10:19.15
And you teach
the humble His way."
00:10:19.18\00:10:23.52
1 Peter 5:5 says,
"Likewise you who are younger,
00:10:23.55\00:10:27.36
be subject to the elders,
00:10:27.39\00:10:29.29
clothe yourselves all of you
00:10:29.32\00:10:30.96
with humility
toward one another,
00:10:30.99\00:10:32.99
for God opposes the proud,
00:10:33.03\00:10:35.43
but gives grace to the humble."
00:10:35.46\00:10:37.70
Lord, I pray for our
viewers, those who are young,
00:10:37.73\00:10:41.84
who have the opportunity
to learn from the older.
00:10:41.87\00:10:47.81
Oh, God, give them
the grace to be humble
00:10:47.84\00:10:52.61
to not think any of us to
think that we know it all.
00:10:52.65\00:10:58.52
Lord, we're
never too old to learn,
00:10:58.55\00:11:00.99
and to grow in
wisdom and in knowledge
00:11:01.02\00:11:04.09
as long as we stay
humble and willing to learn.
00:11:04.13\00:11:08.20
And I thank You for Mark 10:45,
00:11:11.33\00:11:14.30
that says, "For
even the Son of Man
00:11:14.34\00:11:16.14
came not to be
served, but to serve,
00:11:16.17\00:11:18.77
and to give His life
as a ransom for many."
00:11:18.81\00:11:21.38
What an awesome, awesome,
awesome example of humility,
00:11:21.41\00:11:26.31
and servanthood that You gave us
00:11:26.35\00:11:31.82
in the life of Christ.
00:11:31.85\00:11:35.92
Lord, there are
those who have many needs,
00:11:35.96\00:11:40.00
the viewers who have written in
00:11:40.03\00:11:44.23
and one says, "Please
pray for my assignment at work.
00:11:44.27\00:11:49.20
And praying for
00:11:49.24\00:11:52.01
prayers for peace
and safety, protection,
00:11:52.04\00:11:55.51
deliverance, healing,
financial obligation to be met,
00:11:55.54\00:11:59.58
the rent has increased.
00:11:59.61\00:12:01.45
The daughters
have been laid off."
00:12:01.48\00:12:05.35
Lord God, so many
people in so much need.
00:12:05.39\00:12:11.99
We know that You are able
00:12:12.03\00:12:13.73
and You are
willing to meet our needs
00:12:13.76\00:12:18.53
according to Your
riches and glory, Lord.
00:12:18.57\00:12:23.10
So I pray that our
viewers, those who are in need
00:12:23.14\00:12:26.74
of physical needs and financial,
00:12:26.78\00:12:31.11
spiritual, mental, emotional,
00:12:31.15\00:12:36.08
the needs are
great, meet those needs.
00:12:36.12\00:12:43.09
Thank You, Lord.
00:12:43.12\00:12:47.23
One viewer says that
00:12:47.26\00:12:49.66
a friend has Hodgkin's lymphoma.
00:12:49.70\00:12:51.93
She's 85 years old.
00:12:51.97\00:12:53.54
She's always helped
others, loves the Lord so much.
00:12:53.57\00:12:57.14
Now she's in the
hospital with a broken ankle,
00:12:57.17\00:13:00.48
and she'll be in
need of chemotherapy
00:13:00.51\00:13:04.38
due to her cancer.
00:13:04.41\00:13:06.58
She's weak and
needs prayers for healing.
00:13:06.61\00:13:08.72
Father God, I
pray in Jesus' name,
00:13:08.75\00:13:12.62
that You would reach down
and minister peace and healing
00:13:12.65\00:13:17.86
to this one who's
in great need of You
00:13:17.89\00:13:20.20
and healing of broken
bones and healing of cancer.
00:13:20.23\00:13:25.50
Father God,
00:13:25.53\00:13:26.94
You are a great
God and we need You.
