I’ve been reading 4th Nephi and the Book of Mormon today and I was once again reminded about the insidious problem of pride. I think pride is one of those sins that creeps up on you over and over even when you keep trying to put it down.
Annie recently posted a question on Facebook about why we prayer. Maybe one of the reasons is to bring us back before our Maker regularly so we can get a reality check on our “standing” and realize there’s a reason we kneel before Him.
Pride is something I am continually working to eliminate in myself. I have learned through experience that it is easier to humble myself than to be caused to be humble. Yet still I struggle. And so I pray. And as I pray I hope to feel the humbling all encompassing love of our Savior for myself even in my struggles and weaknesses and for others even in theirs.
What do you do to help strip yourself of pride?
