Egotistical Needs


Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of humble actions and control of our own desires and egotistical needs to be recognised by others for our abilities and talents.
Dear Lord please lead us into seeking Your Glory and not our own and please show us how to demonstrate to others how our lives have been directed around and through the potential disasters that could have been if not for the Holy Spirit's interaction.
Dear Lord please help us find satisfaction with our station in the hierarchy of our life's situation and learn how to use Your Word to help others find their satisfactions in Lives closer to You and Your Love, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:*
Men cannot be brothers if they are not humble.  It is pride, no matter how legitimate it may seem to be, which provokes tension and struggles for prestige, for predominance, colonialism, egoism.  That is, pride disrupts brotherhood. --Pope Paul VI

KJV*
Pr 29:23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Mt 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Mt 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
