While on my retreat, I really hoped to come away with something big to ask God for in Nigeria. I wanted some big prayer request we could put out there and ask you all to join in praying. But while on a run one day, I was struck that what I most need to ask him for is humility.
I am too attached to the success or failure of my projects, and I let my emotions get wrapped up in this. And then there is the habit of saying or doing things so people will think well of me instead of thinking well of God. And these habits slowly destroy me and my ability to truly serve God.
[Note: As a result of this, humility is included among the things we are asking you to pray for on our new prayer card.]
