Humility

Humility holds in its keeping the very life of prayer. Neither pride nor vanity can pray. Humility, though, is much more than the absence of vanity and pride. It is a positive quality, a substantial force, that energizes prayer. from E.M.Bounds on Prayer

What truth dear brother and sister in Jesus Christ! As I reflected on this, I realize and sadly so, that there are times when my prayers (usually public ones too) are taunted with self in one way or another. Humility, dying to Lisa, is a moment by moment, day by day journey.

Lord, I can tell the difference when my prayers are really about Your power, Your redemption, Your ways, Your thoughts, Your grace, Your love...and so can You. Thank you Father for this instruction and Your patience in bringing me along day by day to die to myself and live more fully for You. "Create in my, a clean heart O God..." Ps 51: 10a

To God be all the Glory,
