This guided Christian meditation on James 4:6&ndash;8, 10 invites you to pause, breathe, and make space for God to meet you with His generous grace. Step Seven of the 12 Steps says: &ldquo;We humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.&rdquo; Once we are ready for God to change us (Step Six), the natural next step is to come before Him in humility. Not with promises we can&rsquo;t keep, but with open hands, asking Him to do what we cannot do for ourselves. That&rsquo;s the heart of this meditation. James reminds us that &ldquo;God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.&rdquo; As you listen, you&rsquo;ll be invited to notice where your loyalties are divided between God and the world, and to bring those shortcomings humbly before God.&nbsp; Humility doesn&rsquo;t press us down or leave us in shame &mdash; it draws us close to God. And as James promises, when we come close to Him, He comes close to us. He doesn&rsquo;t push us away but lifts us up in His love and honor. Take a deep breath and let this meditation guide you into a posture of humility, honesty, and hope. God&rsquo;s grace is generous, and He is ready to meet you right where you are. &nbsp; Helpful Links:Download your FREE companion journal for Rooted and Grounded: Scripture Meditations for Every Step of the Journey <a href="https://jodieniznik.myflodesk.com/rootedandgrounded">here</a>.This journal includes:&bull; All the Scriptures for this series&bull; Weekly reflection prompts&bull; Space to record what God is revealing to you Additional links: You can find out more about me, Jodie, at <a href="http://www.jodieniznik.com/">http://www.jodieniznik.com/</a> Follow me on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jodieniznik/">@jodieniznik</a> Follow me on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JodieGNiznik">@JodieGNiznik</a> Learn more about Scripture meditation and download a FREE Guided Scripture Meditation Journal <a href="https://idyllic-fashion-59593.myflodesk.com/scripturemeditation">here</a>.
