A Prayer for Humility | When You’re Tempted to Think Too Highly of Yourself (Luke 18:9-14)

Have you ever caught yourself quietly thinking… “At least I’m not like them?”

Pride can be subtle—but it can also be dangerous.

In Luke 18:9–14, Jesus tells a powerful parable of two men who prayed—one full of pride, the other full of humility. And it was the humble man, not the religious one, who walked away justified before God.

This prayer is for those moments when:

  • You feel spiritually “better” than others
  • You struggle with comparison or judgment
  • Pride begins to creep into your heart

Scripture reminds us that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. True growth in our faith begins when we recognize our need for Him.

Tonight, lay down your pride…

and receive His mercy.
