Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.
Colossians 1:28-29
Father God, grant me the humility this day to recognize when I need wisdom and guidance from someone else. I confess that I often believe I have all the answers I need. When confronted with the challenges and obstacles of life, I defer to what I have learned. Yet, this morning I remind myself that I don’t have all the answers, that there are some things and some situations I just can’t figure out on my own. Raise up around me individuals who love me enough to not only teach me but also challenge me and my broken way of thinking. Give me an ear to hear them and a heart to receive what they are sharing. Show me my flaws and shortcomings, opening my eyes to not only my limitations but also the endless possibilities in You. Help me not to hide behind this false image of myself that conveys confidence but instead to embrace that broken person who needs help from You. LORD, continue to mature me today so that I can be who You have created me to be in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
