Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank you for your faithful love.  Although I was born again long time ago, I am still immature spiritually.  Sometimes I show my temper or compete with others out of flesh to promote myself, but I am encouraged to know that you are patient with me and love me until the end. Help me to learn humility from you. The priority of my life is to serve you first and then to serve others. Help me to examine my heart everyday, and help me to repent my self-ego demonstrated in my life. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
