Courageous Humility Pt. 1Sample

Like David, Ezekiel, Daniel, Jonah, and others in the Bible, He will lift us up from the places we may find ourselves. Scripture so clearly depicts the Lord lifting us up from wherever we may be, by the power of His Spirit, which is available to those of us who have asked Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Savior. The same Spirit that lifted Jesus Christ from the dead, now dwells within us {see Romans 8:11}. He will lift us up as well! 

Where did reading Scripture clarify for me a place or places where God would like to lift me up by His Spirit?

Prayer: Lord, I pray for courage for each and every one of us this morning, to confidently cry out to You as we patiently wait in challenging places. Help us see what keeps us from courageously crying out to You, and cry out ANYWAY. Nestle the Scripture You’ve led us to deep within our hearts and help us see You DO HEAR US! You heard the cries of people in the Old and New Testament and You hear us today! Thank You! Transform places of unbelief to belief and lift us up, like so many before us. Lift us up, dust off the muck and mire, preparing us for Your place of sure footing in our lives. Lord, thank You for Your faithfulness, regardless of our frailty and imperfections. In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen!
