Humility isn't thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less. You're not asked to pretend that you're worthless or weak. It's to choose to live in light of who God is, He who is kind, wise, and big. We are not the center of the story. In today's world, humility keeps us grounded. It creates space for growth, grace, and empathy. These prayers can help you grow through surrender. God can soften your heart when you're battling insecurity, comparison, and ego.

Humility comes from seeing God brightly and seeing yourself as He sees you. It doesn’t come from trying to feel small. You’re not too broken to be reshaped, or too spiritual to repent. Let God do the deep work. He humbles us, but never humiliates us. He corrects, but never condemns.
