Today’s Reflection: Prayer

Lord Jesus, when you walked the earth,

Your humility obscured your Kingship.

Your meekness confused the arrogant,

Hindering them from grasping your purpose —

Your nobleness attending to the destitute.

Teach me to model after your eminence,

To subject my nature to humility.

Grant me with a natural inclination

To never view myself greater than anyone.

Banish all lingering sparks of self-importance

That could elevate me greater than you.

Let my heart always imitate your humility.— A Christian Prayer for the Virtue of Humility, author unknown.
