Morning Prayer on 2 Chronicles 26:18

And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the Lord, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the Lord God.

2 Chronicles 26:18 · KJV

Today’s prayer

Written prayer

Lord, Through all the stories of these great kings one thing remains seen and heard through all of the scriptures… the pride and arrogance that can come with influence and increase. With this before me I thank You Lord for protecting me against the arrogance that can come with hitting my goals and achieving success. May my heart remain steadfast and focused on abiding in Your presence and seeking Your face. I confess that honor and respect will be major pillars when it comes to honoring You and those You’ve entrusted to carry out Your way Lord. Let me never walk around like King Uzziah, believing that I am better than others and that Your Word doesn’t apply to me. Let my actions and intentions be in sync with Your principles. I declare that my mind is alert, and my eyes are open so that I will not fall but will rise when You open the door to increase and influence.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
