Humbleness

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in all that we say and do on this day. Please teach us the power that can be found in the seat of the humble, and may we not have to be humbled to be taught this lesson. Please bring us to the point of humble wisdom learned from the humble values taught by Jesus the Christ as he told the stories in parables about repentance, forgiveness, and love. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
