Prayer based on Luke 16:15. Themes: Pride, Hypocrisy, God’s Judgment.

Dear God, please help me to not seek validation and justification from others, but to always remember that you know my heart. May I not be swayed by the things that are exalted among men, but instead seek to please you and live according to your will. Help me to always remember that what is important in your sight may not be what is important in the eyes of the world. Amen.

Verse: He said to them,“You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
Luke 16:15

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to not justify themselves in the sight of men, as what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
