A Prayer to Be Authentic | Your Daily Prayer

Audio By Carbonatix

As Christians, we all can agree we're held to a higher standard as we journey through life on earth, but we have to get honest with ourselves and ask the question, have we too started to want to put ourselves above others? Have we gotten caught up in the trap of wanting to "influence" people by boasting about our accomplishments, our children's accomplishments, and our possessions? Have we found more comfort in sharing about ourselves rather than asking how someone else is doing?

Once we answer these questions, I think we'll better know how to move forward and rightly in the way God would desire for us. Not one time in scripture do we ever find Jesus boasting about Himself or sharing news to make others feel less than. The posture of His heart was always pure, and that is one of the key character traits I want in my life.
