Prayer for Humility and Gratitude
Lord, I do believe that I can do nothing without You. Help me to believe this with an even greater conviction and, as I do, help me to grow in humility and gratitude. Jesus, I trust in You.
Lord,
We pray for the heart position of humility. Humility in such a way that we do not cheapen our own worth or value within, but that we take the alignment that we are here for a greater purpose than just our own gain. We pray that You will highlight to us what it truly means to live a humble life, and that our own worth will be revealed by Your Light. It is only then that we may truly live in freedom and right standing, for we will hold our own value correctly. Lord, we welcome You to mold and secure our hearts in true humility by Your lead.
In Jesus name, Amen

It is then that we will stop attempting to be better than others, and we can love their hearts for the unique person You made them to be. Help us to value one another in this humble spirit so that we may live to the fullest.

10 Bible Verses about Humility
Matthew 23:10-12, And do not be called masters either, because you have one Master, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
James 4:6, But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
Philippians 2:3-4, Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
Ephesians 4:2, Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Proverbs 18:12, Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.
Micah 6: 8, He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
1 Peter 5:5, In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
Proverbs 11:2, When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
1 Peter 3:3-4, Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
1 Corinthians 1:28, God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.
Why Is Humility Important?
Humility is important because it sets things in proper order and perspective. The enemy would have us thrown into arrogance and pride, which skews the lens in which we see the world and how we would see others. God wants better for us. It is when we clothe ourselves in humility that our hearts can see things clearly. We recognize that we are not above anyone, rather, we are all unique children of God, equal in His sight. Humility also blesses us to walk in true freedom, no longer weighed down by the weight of competition. It is in seeking a humble spirit that we can walk to be a blessing to others, a blessing to the Kingdom, and to be open to being blessed in return.
Part of following Christ is humbling one’s self. The Lord Himself humbled Himself as a human to walk among us, so if we are to truly follow His lead, humility becomes part of our own walk. Becoming humble allows for us to have open hearts and minds to move and be moved by the Spirit of God. Walk humbly, love mercy, and seek His heart this day.
Jesus, Oh! gentle and lowly in spirit, Listen to me. Jesus, deliver me from the longing to be regarded. Jesus, save me from the longing to be adored.
When we approach the Lord with humility, it shows in how we live our daily lives. Being humble is frequently thinking of others before oneself, not of oneself. It is actually living in such a way as to avoid hubris or narcissism in order to serve the Lord and properly serve others. It is not self-deprecating or mocking. Today, let’s use these prayers for humility to position our hearts for blessings and opportunities to be blessings.
Lord, help me to have a humble heart.
We fervently hope for a humble heart. Humility in which we acknowledge that we are not only here for our own benefit but also for a greater good, without devaluing our own worth or value. We ask that You show us what it really means to live a humble life and that Your Light will show us how valuable we are. Only then will we be able to fully live in freedom and in good standing because we will appropriately respect ourselves. We invite You to shape and protect our hearts in genuine humility through Your example, Lord.

How and Why Is Humility Vital?
Because it puts things in their correct context and perspective, humility is crucial. The enemy wants us to become haughty and proud, which distorts how we see the world and how we would see other people. For us, God desires better. Our hearts can only see things fully when we are covered in humility. We are aware that nobody is superior to us; rather, God sees us as all being special children who are on par with one another. We are also given the blessing of walking in true freedom, free from the burden of competition, thanks to humility. We can walk to be a blessing to others, a blessing to the Kingdom, and to be receptive to receiving blessings in return by seeking a humble spirit.
In order to follow Christ, one must first humble oneself. To genuinely follow the Lord’s example, humility must be a part of our own path because He humbled Himself to become a person and walk among us. Being humble enables us to have hearts and minds that are receptive to the moving and being moved by the Spirit of God. This day, walk humbly, show kindness, and seek the Lord’s heart.
