Read the following Bible verse several times:

1 Peter 5:5
Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,

“God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.”

Having read this verse several times, what is God saying to you?

Answer these questions:

• When you think of the word humble, what comes to mind?
• How can you clothe yourself in humility?
• Why do you think that God opposes the proud? Why do you think He shows grace to the humble?

After answering these questions, write or verbalize a personal prayer to God.
