But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.—Isaiah 59:2 (NIV)
All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another.—1 Peter 5:5 (NIV)
The Bible makes it clear that a humble heart is essential to spiritual growth. How do you aim for humility? When you submit to God, He will raise you up. By humbly depending on His strength, and following His instructions, your life will be wonderful.
Merciful Father, rescue me from foolish pride. Help me be a faithful steward for You.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.—Philippians 4:8 (NIV)
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.—Lamentations 3:24–26 (NIV)
