A Prayer to Resist Pride

Luke 18:14 reminds us that those who exalt themselves will be humbled, but those who humble themselves will be lifted up. In this episode of Everyday Prayers Podcast, a simple moment — accepting help while delivering meals for hungry children through Project 58:10 — becomes a powerful lesson. Choosing humility over pride not only made the task easier but led to an unexpected friendship and blessing.

The story points to John the Baptist, who modeled true humility by always directing attention to Jesus rather than himself. Even in influence and recognition, he embraced a servant’s heart.

The takeaway is clear: pride isolates us, but humility opens the door to connection, service, and deeper faith. When we follow Christ’s example and live with humble hearts, we reflect His love to others and allow Him to take the highest place.

In Everyday Prayers for Love: Learning to Love God, Others, and Even Yourself, Rachael extends the tender invitation from a loving God to His beloved. She explores the concept of biblical love and then guides readers through practical ways to live out love for others.
