The Prayer of the Humble – Empty Me God, So That You Get All the Glory in My Life
As we open in our Bibles to Matthew 6, think of the context for these verses. Jesus looked out at a group of men, His disciples, that were so much like all of us. They needed humility.

The humble are those who bow before the Majesty of God, bowing low, realizing how great God is, and how great I am not.
