pray for humility – let Christ increase within me as I decrease.

Message: More of Christ, less of me. Prayer: Heavenly Father, as I come before You today, I seek to understand the profound truth encapsulated in the words “More of Christ, less of me.” In a world that constantly tells us to prioritize ourselves and our desires, I humbly ask that You help me to shift my focus towards Your son, Jesus Christ. Allow me to comprehend the beauty and joy that comes from surrendering my own ambitions and embracing Your divine will. Lord, teach me to let go of my pride and self-centered ways. Help me recognize the areas in my life where I am holding on too tightly, clinging to my own understanding rather than leaning on Your wisdom. In moments of frustration or confusion, remind me to seek Your guidance first and foremost. May my actions reflect Your love, grace, and humility, so that others may see Christ in me. I ask for the strength to serve others selflessly and with a heart open to the needs around me. When I feel the temptation to put my own comfort and desires above those of my neighbors, remind me of the sacrifice Christ made for all of us. Let His example inspire me to choose empathy over apathy, compassion over indifference. I long to be a vessel of Your love and mercy, allowing Your light to shine through all that I do. Help me to be mindful of the words I speak, that they may uplift and encourage rather than tear down. Remind me of the power of my influence, and may it always draw people closer to You. As I decrease, Lord, let Christ increase within me. May my life become a testimony of Your grace, a reflection of Your joy, and a beacon of hope to the world around me. May I daily choose to seek Christ, allowing Him to reign in my heart and transform me from the inside out. As I strive for a deeper relationship with Him, let me find fulfillment not in the accolades of the world but in the peace that comes from knowing I am Your child, loved beyond measure. In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
