Night Prayer 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

Inspiration 

Jesus called us to humility by taking on humility himself. He lowered himself to the menial task of washing his disciples’ feet, while at the same time reminding them that no servant is greater than his master. Whenever we think that a task is beneath us, Jesus reminds us that no task was beneath him. So let us put on the humility of Jesus, so that he may be exalted by all that we do.

Prayer 

Jesus, I confess that my pride sometimes gets in the way of serving You. I am sorry for the times that I have acted as if I were better than You. Forgive me, Lord, and teach me to embrace Your humility, so that I may imitate You better and serve You more completely. Give me opportunities to lower myself so that You may be lifted up and revealed. In Jesus’ name, amen.
