Lord, I contribute nothing to my salvation except my sin. Bowing before Your immeasurable superiority, I realize my need and come face to face with my soul’s desperation. Grant me a teachable heart and a humble frame of mind. Let me not be wise and prudent in my own eyes. Keep me on the watch for the symptoms of infectious pride. It comes in many forms. Pride in intellect when I think I have knowledge that surpasses a need to learn. Pride in goodness when my spirituality becomes an idol or when deeds replace worship. Pride even in suffering, when sorrow and woe receive more attention than my relationship with You. Let these subtle distractions not have the power to lead me off the narrow road toward Your Kingdom, Lord. So long as I think more of myself or my life, I will hinder my rightful place at Your feet. Cultivate humility under the banner of Your grace. Make me always willing and eager to be taught by Your Spirit. Under the measure of the Word in Ephesians 2:4-6 and the authority of Christ, I bow in prayer.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,  even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—  and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:4-6, ESV
