Pray for Humility and Wisdom

[PillarofClay]

Hello everyone, long time lurker here.

I’m a 22 year old guy who is enraptured by my Faith. But I am afraid I have developed problems because of my fervor.

I need prayer for Humility and Wisdom. I was asked this past Sunday to join the Core Team for our Lifeteen group at my church. While it is an honor, I am very frightened by the aspect of committing to this. I understand myself and my heart, and that is was scares me.

I have worked very hard to keep myself humble when speaking to others, even if I am not completely humble in my mind. I pray for the wisdom to articulate my words carefully when discussing my Faith with others.

This is why I am afraid of being placed in a position of Authority or Influence… because it is what I want. I want that authority because, in my mind, I feel that I can teach or lead others to becoming true soldiers of Christ. But Power is a smooth sower of corruption.

I see the world in black and white, there is right and then there is wrong. Decisions I see as easily made, seem to be more difficult for others to make. I have no problem with telling someone that their opinion goes against Church Doctrine and am easily angered when they do not care. I have trouble understanding why people can’t stand for their Faith without hesitation, in all aspects. I can feel these views cause me to become Self Righteous and Arrogant.

So please, pray for me.

Mother Mary, I commend PillarofClay to you. Please help him/her to be humble and wise, never arrogant or self-righteous. May he/she take you and Jesus as his/her model of humility, and not think, say or do anything that you and Jesus would not think, say or do. Amen.

Remembering you in my daily prayers. God bless!

I pray for you and that God guides you with love and mercy!

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.
