James 4:7-12       

7 So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.



PRAISE GOD

· You are Sovereign. All powerful. Worthy of all our praise

· You are stronger than the enemy of my soul



ASK GOD

· I choose to humbly come before you. Teach me true humility

· Rebuke the enemy in every area of your life



Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.



PRAISE GOD

· You are the God of presence. You’re always near to me

· You are the Great Redeemer! Your grace is sufficient for me



ASK GOD

· Remove all the obstacles keeping me from drawing near to you

· Purify me with your holiness. Let me be righteous before you



Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy.



PRAISE GOD

· You are the Great Restorer! You restore what has been destroyed by sin and the world



ASK GOD

· Forgive me all my iniquities. Let me always remember the emotions, feelings, and sorrow of being lost and then found



10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.



PRAISE GOD

· He gives grace to humble and lifts them up

· He is the great bestower of honor



ASK GOD

· Help me to be humble beneath your sovereignty and care

· Walk with me as you lead me in all things in my life



12 God alone has the power to save or to destroy.



PRAISE GOD

· His power and authority is unsurpassed



ASK GOD

· Help me submit to your sovereignty and live humbly within it
