Today's Thought
In Scripture, we are told time and time again that God hates pride, but He gives grace to the humble. He can do nothing with a proud heart and He hates pride because of how it destroys us. Today, pray that God would dig out every bit of pride that is in your heart. The sneaky part about pride is that it has many forms. It is easy to recognize when it looks haughty and abrasive, but more often, pride shows up in subtle ways: when we think we know more than God - whether it is what we think of ourselves or instructions that He gives us that we ignore… whatever way pride may be showing up in your life, remember that it is a soul disease that we must ask the Holy Spirit to rid us of.

Prayer Focus
God, it is so easy to see pride in others, but I can be so blind to how it has taken root in my heart. I ask that you would reveal pride and deliver me from it. As I confess it, I know that you will bring freedom. Search my heart and I will respond in repentance.
