My continual prayer is that I would be humble. I have learned over the years that Pride is one of my sinful attitudes that I must constantly be watching, praying about and held accountable to. I always viewed pride as arrogance, and I wasn't arrogant. So I didn't think I had to worry about pride. But the more I saw myself struggling with sin especially in professional relationships, God helped me understand these sins were based on the basic belief that I was better, smarter, more articulate or whatever.
Now, I pray every day as I am heading to work, "Lord give me humility and help me to be a great Ambassador for Christ". It has changed how I interact with my coworkers and boss. It is still a struggle. I am constantly reminded by the Holy Spirit, that I may not have all the answers, or that I just need to listen.
This section of Scripture reminds me that I do have one thing to be "proud" about...that God sent His Son to die in my place. Jesus was the only acceptable sacrifice for all the despicable things that I have done. Thank you Lord that you first loved me!
