Dear god. I admit that sometimes I struggle with joyful humility. So help me to have this same attitude is Jesus to become so humble that I’m willing to obey god. No matter what it cost me. I choose to open myself up and make room for Jesus to make room for him in my spirit my soul in my body. I receive your grace to help me live with joyful humility. Before you and others. Each day. Amen.
