Our Longsuffering Lord,
How thankful we are this morning that we serve a God that is gracious, full of compassionate, slow to anger and of great mercy. You show Yourself mighty to save, not wanting even one to be lost, but hopeful that all will choose You. Lord please forgive us when we have allowed pride to rear her deadly head in our lives. We realize that pride will not exist in the Kingdom. We must put it away. Lord help us not to insist on our own way. Instead, help us to suffer long, and be kind; help us not to envy or boast. Help us not to be puffed up, nor behave ourselves unseemly. Let us not seek our own or be easily provoked. Keep us from thinking evil or rejoicing in iniquity. Help us to always rejoice in the truth; to bear all things, believe all things, hope all things and endure all things. We know that without You, this would be impossible. Pour out Your Spirit on us today we pray in Christ's all-powerful name, Amen.
