Step 7: “Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.”
Devotion:
Step 7 is not a one-time prayer. It becomes a way of living.
As we continue following Jesus, He faithfully reveals new areas where growth is needed. Humility keeps our hearts open to His correction, guidance, and grace.
The life of following Jesus is not about arriving at perfection. It is about remaining surrendered and teachable before Him.
When we walk humbly with Jesus, we begin reflecting His character more clearly to the world around us.
Biblical Example:
Paul the Apostle remained dependent on God throughout his ministry. Even after years of faithful service, he continued relying on Christ’s strength rather than his own.
Reflection Questions:
1. How can I remain teachable and surrendered to Jesus each day?
2. What areas of my life still need greater humility?
Action Step:
Begin each morning this week with a simple prayer of surrender to Jesus.
Invite Him to shape your thoughts, attitudes, and actions throughout the day.
Remember: Humility keeps us close to the heart of Christ.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, keep my heart humble and open before You. Help me continue growing in Your likeness day by day. Amen.
