Surrender to Humility
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)
The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.—1 Kings 19:11 (NIV)
Sometimes God’s guidance is clouded by your own doubts and the criticism of others. It’s not always easy to listen to His whispers and have faith in the outcome. If you are in a place where you feel divided by uncertainty, ask God for strength and clarity to follow His will.
Heavenly Father, I’m sorry for worrying and having doubts. Help me follow Your direction. Help me to stay on course.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.—Galatians 5:22–23 (NIV)
