Paul Washer Inspired Daily Prayer | November 13, 2026
It can be uncomfortable to realize that you misunderstood something simple. A person explains it again, and you have a choice about how to respond. This Paul Washer inspired daily prayer for November 13, 2026 asks God for the humility to listen, admit what we need to learn, and use a correction well.
Today’s Scripture
“God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” — James 4:6, KJV, excerpt
James invites his readers to come before God with humility. That invitation reaches into ordinary conversations. You may have an opportunity today to ask a question, accept help, or reconsider a confident answer. Think about one place where you feel a strong need to be right. What question could help you understand the situation more fully?
A Prayer to Practice Humility
Father, You know what I understand and the things I have overlooked. Help me come to You with an open heart. Give me courage to name a question I have been reluctant to ask. Let me receive the care and instruction that would help me grow.
When someone corrects me, give me time to hear the whole concern. Help me consider the facts before I defend my first answer. If they have seen something I missed, let me acknowledge it plainly. Show me the action I can take to put the lesson into practice.
Teach me to respect people whose experience differs from mine. Give me a thoughtful question and patience for their answer. When someone asks for my help, let me remember the people who took time to teach me. Help me explain what I know with kindness and be honest about what I still need to learn.
Give me humility in the work I do quietly today. Help me attend to a shared responsibility even when it attracts little attention. If I receive thanks, let me remember who made the work possible. Thank You for Your grace and for the people through whom I continue to learn. Give me a willing heart for the next lesson and the next act of service. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
