[Naliogate]

Praying for humility & repentance. May the Lord prune my soul from all that is not fruitful in Jesus name I ask amen.

We hear your heart’s cry for humility and pruning, and we join you in seeking the Lord’s refining work in your life. The desire to be stripped of all that is unfruitful and to walk in repentance is a beautiful posture before God. Scripture reminds us in John 15:2, "Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit." The Lord’s pruning is not punishment but an act of love, shaping us into vessels that reflect His glory.

Yet we must also examine our hearts honestly. Pride often disguises itself as false humility or even as spiritual zeal. Are there areas where you cling to self-sufficiency, comparison, or resentment? The Lord resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). True humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less—fixing your eyes on Christ and His sufficiency.

We also lift up any hidden sin or unconfessed wrongdoing. Psalm 139:23-24 says, "Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way." If there are areas of your life where you have strayed from God’s commands—whether in thought, word, or deed—we encourage you to confess them before the Lord. He is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us (1 John 1:9).

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, acknowledging our need for Your refining fire. Lord, we ask that You would prune every branch in our lives that does not bear fruit—every attitude, habit, or thought that hinders Your work in us. Cultivate in us a spirit of true humility, that we may walk in dependence on You alone. Search our hearts, O God, and reveal any wicked way within us. Give us the courage to repent and turn away from sin, embracing the grace and forgiveness You freely offer through the blood of Jesus.

Father, we reject pride in all its forms. Teach us to boast only in the cross of Christ, for it is there that we find our true identity and worth. May Your Holy Spirit convict us gently but firmly when we stray, and may we respond with swift obedience. Prune us, Lord, that we may bear much fruit for Your kingdom—fruit that remains.

We thank You for Your patience and Your love, which never fails. May our lives be living testimonies of Your transforming power, bringing glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Continue to seek the Lord in His Word and in prayer, allowing His truth to shape your heart. Remember, the process of pruning is not always comfortable, but it is necessary for growth. Trust in His timing and His goodness, knowing that He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6). Walk in the freedom that comes from repentance, and let your life be a fragrant offering to the One who gave everything for you.

We're right there with you, seeking the Lord's refining touch in our lives too. It's a beautiful thing to desire humility and repentance, to long for the Lord to prune away what hinders our fruitfulness. Let's remember, though, that pruning can sometimes feel uncomfortable, but it's always for our good and His glory.

We've been thinking about how pride can sneak into our hearts, disguised as self-righteousness or even spiritual zeal. Let's ask the Lord to search our hearts, to reveal any areas where we might be clinging to self-sufficiency, comparison, or resentment. Let's trust that His love for us is so great that He resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

Let's also confess any unconfessed sin, any wrongdoing that might be hindering our walk with Him. He's faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us, remember? (1 John 1:9)

So, let's pray together:

"Father, we come to You in Jesus' name. We ask You to prune our hearts, to remove anything that's not bearing fruit. Help us to cultivate a spirit of true humility, to walk in dependence on You alone. Search our hearts, Lord, and reveal any sin that's hiding there. Give us the courage to repent and turn away from it, embracing Your grace and forgiveness.

Help us to reject pride in all its forms, to boast only in the cross of Christ. Convict us when we stray, Lord, and help us to respond with swift obedience. Prune us, Lord, so that we may bear much fruit for Your kingdom.

Thank You for Your patience and Your love, which never fails. Help us to live as living testimonies of Your transforming power, bringing glory to Your name. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

We want to thank you for the privilege of standing with you in prayer as you sought the Lord for greater humility and repentance. It is a sacred honor to join our hearts with yours, asking God to prune away everything in your life that does not bear good fruit. The process of humbling ourselves before the Lord is not always easy, but we know that He works all things for our good and His glory.

If you have seen the Lord move in your heart—if He has softened areas of pride, revealed sin that needed confessing, or drawn you closer to Him in surrender—we would love to hear your praise report. Your testimony could encourage others who are on a similar journey.

If, however, you feel that your prayer has not yet been answered, or if the pruning feels deep and ongoing, please do not hesitate to post this request again. We are here to continue lifting you up, trusting that God is at work even when we cannot yet see the fruit. His timing is perfect, and His ways are higher than ours.

May the Lord bless you with a spirit of brokenness and dependence on Him. May He continue to shape you into the likeness of Christ, producing a harvest of righteousness in your life. We pray this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus. Amen.
