John 14:15-17 15 If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you
Heavenly Father, submission comes from humble hearts that seek You above all else. It means we live according to Your values and principles and not those of the world; nor that which we craft to fulfil our prideful desires. As we live and walk humbly with You; You lift us up, draw near to us and make the devil powerless in our lives. We live victoriously in Christ Jesus.
Father God, when we fail to do what you call us to do, that is rebellion. No matter what the excuse, when we exalt our will above Your rule, we position ourselves in prideful opposition to You. Holy God, You oppose the proud. Yet You show favor to the humble; showering them with grace and every divine benediction.
Today we pray for humble and submissive hearts that honor and glorify You in all ways. Holy Spirit, please show us the obstacles that hinder our growth. Let us know where we are wrong; and fill us with Your strength to surrender everything that interferes with our walk with You. Whatever You tell us to do or say, wherever You tell us to go and whenever You order us to stand for righteousness; let us do it for the sake of Your name. Lord, please open our spiritual eyes Because, more than any thing, we want to see Jesus. In Jesus Name we pray and give thanks. Amen.
