Prayer For A Humble And Godly Spirit
Yearning For A Pure Heart
Dearest Heavenly Father, deep within my heart, I yearn for a spirit that reflects Your purity, a spirit that is humble and utterly dependent on You. However, as I journey through this ever-complex world, I am consistently reminded of the challenges and temptations that stand to sway me from Your righteous path.
The world glorifies pride, self-sufficiency, and personal achievements, often making it difficult for me to stay grounded in humility and unwavering faith.
I recognize, Lord, that the path to true humility is not one of self-degradation or seeing oneself as worthless, but rather, it is acknowledging that every talent, achievement, and blessing in my life originates from You.
It’s understanding that I am nothing without Your guidance, love, and grace. As I come before You today, I sincerely pray for a heart that seeks Your glory above all else and a spirit that is steadfast in its humility and godliness.

Seeking Genuine Humble Heart – Rooting Out Pride
Father, I acknowledge that a truly humble heart is a gift from You, and I desperately seek this treasure. I want to view myself accurately, recognizing both my worth in Your eyes and the areas where I need growth.
Banish any false humility in me that may seek to receive praise from others, and instead, cultivate a genuine humility that gives You all the glory and honor.
Root out the pride that lurks in the corners of my heart, and let Your Spirit continually remind me of my reliance on You.
Let my accomplishments, no matter how significant, always point back to You, the source of every good and perfect gift. Teach me, Lord, to be humble in spirit, recognizing that I am merely a vessel, chosen and used by You for Your divine purposes.

Grant me the strength to resist the temptations of this world that push me towards pride and self-centeredness. Instead, let me embrace a godly conduct that reflects Your love and humility to those around me.
In my interactions, may I always consider others better than myself, putting their needs before mine, and showing the same selfless love You’ve shown me. Let my actions, words, and thoughts be seasoned with grace and humility, illuminating Your presence in my life.

You’re all I want and all I need, and I will boast of Your glory and how You came and saved me.
I will humble myself before You, for You are the great I AM, the Alpha and the Omega, the truth and life, the beginning and the end. Before you, I will bow, for You alone deserve all the praise and all the glory. In Jesus’ mighty name, I am set free of the pride-filled chains that bind me! Amen!
