Surrender to Humility
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)
So the king asked me, “Why does your face look so sad when you are not ill? This can be nothing but sadness of heart.” I was very much afraid …. The king said to me, “What is it you want?” Then I prayed to the God of heaven.—Nehemiah 2:2,4 (NIV)
Nehemiah faced a frightening situation and “he prayed to the God of heaven.” As Corrie ten Boom said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” The next time you face a fearful problem, pray.
God of Heaven, please give me the courage to face my fears.

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)
