Chuckling at the time, she also speaks the truth. No one wants to look at the pride within themselves nor take responsibility for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Addressing our pride issues unveils dark corners in our hearts. Selfishness remains the bedrock of sin; we put our needs before God\u2019s desires and others. Pride makes me angry when someone cuts me off in traffic; humility keeps my heart soft and reminds me that God loves them too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask God to keep your heart soft towards others, alerting you to prideful ways. Admitting our problem leads to fixing it. Pride fuels sin, but humility fuels wisdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God helps us keep a soft heart when we submit our ways to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1-300x39.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lord, forgive us for our pride.
