"When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with the humble is wisdom.
The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them."
-Proverbs 11: 2 & 3
Father, thank you for the wisdom that is written in your Word. Thank you for drawing me near and gently rebuking my thoughts, actions, and words. I am sorry for reacting in a manner that is not pleasing in your sight. Lord, my anger and frustration for not being in control gets the better of me. I do not automatically react with a humble heart and I know that makes me look like a fool. I pray for the ability to shut my mouth and let you deal with the things in this world that I do not think are fair. I pray that I can lay down my pride and the "things I think I deserve" at your feet and look with gratitude on what I do have. May I not compare myself to others! May I work for you and your glory even when things are not "fair." May that be one thing that sets me apart and causes people to see you in my life.
Thank you for loving me even when I act like a fool!
In Christ's forgiving name, Amen!
