“I am not in the business of promoting myself; I am in the business of surrendering to the Holy Spirit.” A. W. Tozer

Isaiah 66:2
“For My hand made all these things,
Thus all these things came into being,” declares the Lord.
“But to this one I will look,
To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.”

Prayers of praise to the true and living God redirects my focus from me towards Him. It takes the pride that so easily surfaces to the top of my consciencesness and puts it in its proper place.

But I fail each day to surrender completely. And yet, in my weakness and self-righteous spirit, He comes to me and tells me that He loves me. How is that possible? It can only be expressed by one word – Jesus!

Heavenly Father, I surrender. I pray for a humble spirit. Thank You for the Holy Scriptures. Forgive my daily failures as I release myself to the Holy Spirit that sanctifies me. Amen.

Always praying for the glory of God,
