A Prayer of Humiliation
Jesus, we thank you for the voluntary humiliation you offered — making yourself low as a baby in a manger, allowing yourself to be hated and mocked, dying a humiliating death on the cross. As we enter a new year, we renew our commitment to follow you in every area, including when we might enter into humility ourselves. Whether we are humble or humbled, bring us your grace to use those moments to draw nearer to you. We hand over our pride and ask that you would replace it with humility and peace. May we never think of ourselves more highly than we ought.
Amen.
