O God Most High, how
can you fulfill your purpose for me
when I seek to please
people more than to please you,
and what matters most
to me is human approval?
And how can I receive
your approval when I am obstinate,
with a neck like an
iron sinew, a forehead of brass?
Jairus was a leader of the
synagogue; but when Jairus saw
Jesus, he fell at his
feet. Make me humble like him.

Selected Verses
Ps. 57:2
I
cry to God Most High,
to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
Isa. 48:4
Because
I know that you are obstinate,
and your neck is an iron sinew
and your forehead brass…
and your neck is an iron sinew
and your forehead brass…
[The
LORD addressing Israel]
Gal. 1:10
Am I
now seeking human approval, or God’s approval?
Or am I trying to please people? If I were still pleasing people, I
would not be a servant of Christ.
Mark 5:22
Then
one of the leaders of the synagogue named Jairus came and, when he saw him,
fell at his feet
