Praying from 1 Corinthians 5:6. Themes: Boasting, Yeast, Influence

Dear God, please help me to resist the temptation to boast and to recognize that it is not good. Help me to understand that even a little bit of pride can spread and affect everything around me. Please give me the humility to acknowledge my weaknesses and to rely on your strength instead. May my words and actions always reflect your love and grace. Amen.

Verse: Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?
1 Corinthians 5:6

This is a Command. The verse is a rebuke to the reader for their boasting and a warning to not let a little bit of sin corrupt everything.
