Humility is not
our culture's biggest asset or most desired character quality. But
humility is what is demanded - not so much because it's commanded
(thought that would be enough), but because we've earned it. Every
year brings another wave of major failures in morality, character,
and spirituality.
Rather than progressing culturally, we find ourselves slipping.
Humility is earned! So let's be humble and call upon the Lord!
Prayer:
Holy and Almighty God, your deeds are awesome, your faithfulness
is overwhelming, and your mercy and grace are such a blessing. Yet
I come to you knowing that you hear me, despite the incredible
distance between you and I, between your worth and holiness and my
lack. I confess that I, and my
culture and country around me have made a mess of what you so
wonderfully blessed us with. I come humbly asking that you
reassert yourself in our nation in clearly recognizable
ways. I ask this in faith through Jesus. Amen.
