Praying from Romans 4:2. Themes: Justification, Boasting, Faith

Dear God, I pray that I may never boast about my works and achievements, for I know that true justification comes only from you. Help me to always remember that any good I do is only possible because of your grace and mercy. May I never take credit for what you have done in my life, but instead give all glory and honor to you. Thank you for justifying me through faith in your son Jesus Christ. Amen.

Verse: For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
Romans 4:2

This is a Command. The verse is telling the reader not to boast about their works towards God.
