Humility
“You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.”
John 13:13-15

🙏 Prayer - Meditating on God’s Truth
Father, thank you for giving us the perfect example of humility through your Son, Jesus. We confess that our hearts understand pride and that becoming a servant like Jesus does not come naturally to us. We ask that as we seek to become more like men of God every day that you would make us humble. Help us be willing to submit to others and serve others in your name! We pray that when the world sees our example of humility, they would see you. We pray these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
