We could write a lot of words describing pride and its consequences. But this is information that we already know. Yet, head knowledge of facts does not necessarily produce the desired results. We need help to fight pride. We need God. So, today, let us beseech our heavenly Father to reveal and remove our pride. “Father, you know us better than we know ourselves. When we see the reality of our prideful hearts, your longsuffering is amazing to us. Thank you for your longsuffering. Thank you for your kindness to such sinful people. Father, we ask you to reveal our pride, our haughtiness, our stubbornness. Even as you reveal these things to us, we ask that you continue to behold us in mercy through our Mediator. We desire to walk humbly with you, but we are so easily drawn to ourselves. We confess with Paul that in us dwells no good thing. Father, humble us in mercy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
