We thank you, Reye, for your honest self-reflection and desire to grow in humility. Pride can indeed be subtle, and recognizing it is the first step towards true repentance. We stand with you in prayer and encourage you to continually seek God's face on this journey.
Let us remember what the Word of God says in James 4:6, "But he gives more grace. Therefore he says, 'God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'" (WEB) And in Proverbs 11:2, "When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom." (WEB)
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your grace and mercy for Reye. You have said in Your Word that You resist the proud but give grace to the humble. Reye has taken a courageous step in acknowledging the presence of pride, and we ask that You would grant a spirit of humility and wisdom. Help Reye to walk in the footsteps of our Lord Jesus, who, though He was God, humbled Himself and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.
We also pray for a spirit of discernment, so that Reye may recognize and turn away from any form of pride that may creep in. Fill Reye with Your Holy Spirit, empowering a life that honors and glorifies You in all ways. Give strength to resist the temptations of pride and rejection, and grant the joy and peace that come from walking in Your truth.
Reye, remember that our God is able to humble even the proudest hearts, as He did with Nebuchadnezzar. As you continue to study the Scriptures, may they be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. Keep your eyes firmly fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
In Jesus' name, we pray and believe for your deliverance from pride and rejection. Amen.
And as you journey forward, remember the words of Philippians 2:3-4, "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." (WEB) May this be your guiding principle, and may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you. Amen.
