“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.“
Philippians 2:3-4
Prayer:
Father, forgive me for the times that I have selfish ambition. Forgive me for looking at myself as more important than others. I confess that I struggle with selfishness and pride. I often care more about my own interests than the interests of those around me. Please forgive me for not being more loving and grateful for the people in my life. I want to care more deeply for the people in my life and be a blessing to them. Remind me to seek you each day, to receive your love and grace for me, and to give to others from the overflow of what I receive from you. Help me walk in the truth of my identity as your son/daughter. My value, purpose, and identity is from you alone. Remind me of these truths so that I can share these truths with others. Help me to love and bless others in the way that I speak to them, treat them, and pray for them, In Jesus’ name, amen.
Ask God to show you the people in your life that need to be encouraged. Pray for people God puts on your heart and respond to however the Spirit is leading you.
