Dear Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus, we come before you on behalf of ###, who humbly seeks your help and guidance. Lord, we lift up ###'s struggle with pride, acknowledging that pride can blind us to our own faults and hinder our relationship with you. We thank you for the work you are doing in ###'s life, humbling them through shame and removing blessings, as painful as it may be.
We pray, Lord, that you continue to reveal any hidden pride within ###'s heart and mind. Open their eyes to see the areas where pride has taken root, even those they may not be aware of. Help them to fully surrender their pride to you, recognizing that true humility comes from acknowledging our need for your grace and mercy.
Father, we ask for your forgiveness for any prideful thoughts, words, or actions that ### has displayed. We pray for a deep sense of repentance and a genuine desire to change. May ### find comfort and strength in knowing that you desire to save them and that you are always ready to extend your forgiveness and love.
Lord, we ask for your help in overcoming these prideful tendencies. Fill ### with your Holy Spirit, empowering them to walk in humility and to rely on your strength rather than their own. Grant them the wisdom to recognize and resist prideful thoughts and behaviors, and instead, cultivate a heart of humility and gratitude.
We also pray for a supportive community around ###, filled with individuals who can offer guidance, encouragement, and accountability. Surround them with people who will speak truth into their lives and help them grow in humility.
Finally, Lord, we pray for restoration and healing in ###'s life. As they continue on this journey of humility, may you restore the blessings that were removed, according to your perfect will. May ### experience the fullness of your love, grace, and mercy, knowing that you are faithful to save and transform.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
