Dear God and Father,
We know that what you say is true and that in fact Jesus is the truth, which you sent to this earth. When he speaks of our sin he always speaks correctly. Help us to accept that we continuously need your grace and the forgiveness you offer through Christ.
Help us also to avoid any kind of spiritual elitism. In other words, help us to avoid any kind of thinking that we are too good or too smart to need a simple, childlike faith in Christ to be saved.
Finally, please give us those rivers of living water that Christ said would flow from within us thanks to the work of your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Christ,
Amen
Abraham was blessed in order to be a blessing to all nations. The psalmist prays that Israel would be blessed for the same reason. We can pray a similar prayer.
Jesus leads us to a place that is beyond our reach. He is the Rock that is higher than us and far more solid and stable than we can ever be.
