KEEP A LOW VIEW OF OUR OWN IMPORTANCE

We know being humble is impossible without God. We know of no other help that makes us humble and allows us to show mercy.   Without the Holy Spirit, we are normally: Haughty, Prideful, Coveting, Greedy, Egotistic, Judgmental, Spiteful, Envious, Arrogant, and thick neck people. 

Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Heavenly Father, we humble ourselves under Your mighty hands, with compassion, kindness, gentleness, and patience.  Jesus, forgive us for our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Let us draw near to You with a pure heart full of confidence and faith, having our hearts free from sinful desires, and our bodies washed with the Word so we may be filled with the Holy Spirit.  Let Your Word dwell in us so we will not follow false teaching with strange doctrines, let us study and hold on to what is good.  Lord, let us not complain or chase after our lustful desires but let us be rich in good works, ready to obey and willing to share with others.  We pray that the whole body is knitted and joined together and that every part does its share causing growth to the body and others around us.  Father, as each one of us, has received a gift, let us ministers it, looking out for the interests of others. Lord, let us love one another with a pure heart so that we do not lose the things we have been blessed with. Lord, let us become watchful in our prayer life, as we wait for Your return. Father, help us run with endurance the race that is set before us and setting our minds on things above and not on things below.  Lord, keep us pressing toward our calling, by putting on the whole armor so we may stand against the evil of this lost world.  Father, give us the courage to speak the Truth of Your Word, the blessings and the wrath with great boldness, so You will stretch forth Your hand to heal us, in Jesus name.  Amen
