A Prayer of Repentance for Pride

For when you looked down on someone, or could not admit you were wrong.

When it feels like this

Pride does not arrive loudly. It comes as the quiet certainty that you are right. Which is why noticing it at all is already grace.

An example prayer

PRIDE · A PRAYER OF REPENTANCE

I come before the God who heard the tax collector praying in the corner of the temple, eyes down, beating his chest — and called him righteous.

I acted as if I had gotten here on my own strength.

Whenever I start climbing, call me back to my knees.

Thank you that you do not turn away from those who return to you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
