SUMMARY SENTENCE
Aspire to a position of humility.
PRAYER
God, you are great but you welcome the weak and broken. That's good because I'm not very strong or whole. Forgive me for all the times that I start thinking that I'm more than I am. Restore in me a healthy sense of humility so that I can better serve you and those around me. I'm no longer going to make everything about me. Amen.
