Jesus, give me a humble heart,
teach me to have a meek attitude
take from me, my selfish pride
fill my soul with eternal gratitude.
Disrobe me of my self-importance,
strip my conceit and arrogance
remove the smugness on my face
rip away any self-imposed relevance.
Cloth me in Your righteousness,
wrap me in Your truth and love
cover me with the Holy Spirit
bind me to Your Father up above.
Jesus, give me a holy humbleness,
dispose of any remaining selfish debris
take from me my self-centerness
let humility bend my prideful knee!

gives grace to the humble.”

I love this poem/prayer. I am a recovering drug addict and in my addiction it was all about me, me, me. I came to the Lord on 30June2013, and had to learn about true love (which is never-ending), self perseverance while at the same time learning to lean on God, and right now I am trying to humble myself. It is a struggle, but I remain strong because the Lord is my strength. I appreciate these words. They sang to my heart and spoke Truth. Thank you so much

Its amazing how often I think of God, and when I do the praise falls down from within as words also. I always feel as though I can never praise or do enough to show how much I appreciate his love! It has always been that way since I was a child and at the age of two would draw pictures landscapes with his cross shining brightly within! Your gift is precious!

Most of my poems are prayers . . . and they come straight from my ♥. I do a lot of soul searching before I write each one and always feel blessed when they bless others. Thank you for being my number one fan. ~ Blessings and many abundant prayers to you ~
