Surrender to Humility
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)
The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of Your hands.—Psalm 138:8 (ESV)
There are times in life that despite trying your hardest, praying earnestly and deeply desiring something, it just doesn’t happen. Sometimes we must accept that not everything is available when we want it. When this happens we must trust that something better—something different than what we expected—is on its way.
Father God, it’s hard to let go of certain wants, but I will because I trust Your plan and Your timing.

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)

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.—1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV)
