Living humility daily is not an easy thing; sometimes we have a tendency to want to resist and to stand firm in our position, just so as not to lose face.

short prayer for humility
Lord God,
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray to become a person of a low heart.
I know too many times I let my flesh take over and my arrogance rules me. I don’t want that kind of behavior in my life at all. I am too proud and I admit that I seek to belittle others in order to elevate myself in the eyes of men. I lack respect because I think I am better than my neighbor. I long for the root of humility to be present in my heart. That I fear Your name because with her I know that I would move forward every day with humility and reverence.
I want once and for all to give up taking pleasure in living in my complacency. Deliver me from this hidden pride and this desire that others esteem in me.
I must be able to accept when I am wrong and above all be able to ask forgiveness without difficulty when I have not done well and especially when I know it very well inside me. I don’t want to resist anymore because that puts me in bad situations and little by little, in a bad state.
I know that all that I have comes from You and by Your grace, I can advance from glory to glory and from victory to victory. I have already conquered on pride! Amen.
