• James 4:6-11
  But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
  " God resists the proud,
  But gives grace to the humble." Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
   
• Matthew 5:3-10
  "Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
  Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.
  Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.
  Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
  Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.
  Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
  Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
  Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
   
• Luke 14:7-11
  So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.'
   
• Matthew 23:11-12
  But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
   
• Daniel 9:3-4
  Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.

Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
