Keep Me Grounded

God,

Anchor me in truth when the waves of pride try to lift me too high.

Strip away anything built on vanity, and let only what’s rooted in You remain.

Help me discern the difference between holy ambition and self-centered hustle.

When the lights shine, let me remember Your light shines brighter.
When the platform grows, let me shrink so You are magnified.
When the world applauds, remind me that Your whisper of “well done” is the only praise that matters.

Keep my heart soft, my vision clear, and my spirit humble.

Let my creativity reflect heaven’s excellence, not man’s approval.

Let my decisions be driven by impact, not image.

Let my voice carry healing, not hype.

Protect me from flattery that blinds, and ambition that devours.
Guard my purpose like a flame in the wind—steady, pure, and undistracted.

And when I forget who I am, remind me whose I am.

In Jesus' mighty name,

Amen.
