Friday Prayer Point
Prayer Focus: Pridefulness- thinking too highly of oneself; conceited, arrogant, or overconfident:
Proverbs 8:13: "To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech"
Proverbs 16:18: "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall"
1 John: 2:16 -17 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever
Philippians 2:3-4 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Prayer Points
1. Dear Father, I ask you to break the spirit of pride and arrogance in my life.
2. Dear father, As I look at everything, I have in my life that is good, it is not because of who I am. But because you had a plan for me do your will. Therefore, let me not glory in my accomplishment. But let me remember. " (James 1:17) "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning"
3. Dear Father, let me be clothed in humility and walk in Humility: Lord let me be respectful of others, especially my elders. God, I wait for your timing to exalt me as you will. (First Peter 5: 5-6) Likewise, you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you
4. Dear Father, let me seek to do good for others and help others fulfill their destiny. Let me not be a person who wants to receive, but let me be willing to bless someone else. . (Matthew 23:12)For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted
Declaration: I will not glory in my excellence. By the grace of God, I am what I am so I will not think more highly of myself than I should. But I will:
(Roman 12: 9:21.)9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit,[g] serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.[h] Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it[i] to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Roman 12: 9:21.)
Prayer: Lord, I thank you for all your blessing. You will, and will continue to reveal insight into errors in my thought process that I may be pleasing to you. Lord, keep me from falling into destructive patterns of thinking. Lord, let me love others and want to see others bless as you bless me. In the Might name of Jesus!
