Prayer for humility

Lord, it's hard for me to care about others. It's a lot easier to care about myself. It's just easier to care about what l can accomplish and how l am being recognized and how l compare. But you've shown the way. If l exalt myself, l miss out on your best. When l humble myself, Lord, l discover that you're able to give a strength and a power through depending on you that l do not and cannot have on my own. Apart from Christ l can do nothing, but in Christ l can do all things! In Jesus' name l pray. Amen.

"The only humility that is really ours is not that which we try to show before God in prayer, but that which we carry with us in our daily conduct" -Andrew Murray
