Seven Steps to Successfully Dealing with Pride by Charles Stanley
The first thing you can do to combat pride is to realize that pride is present in your life.
Second, ask God to forgive you for being prideful.
Third, pray that He will give you the ability to turn away from pride.
Fourth, pray that he will set a hedge of protection around your life. Also, ask Him to give you the discernment to detect the landmine of pride before you approach it. One of the best ways to defuse conceit and arrogance is to serve somebody else, not to receive credit, but to learn humility and the goodness that comes from being submitted to the Lord fully and completely.
Fifth, remember where you came from and how far God has brought you.
Sixth, ask God to help you recall the good things that He has done in your life, and stop comparing yourself to someone else.
Seventh, be willing to experience adversity.
Tomorrow we'll look at Chapter Four, The Landmines of Jealousy and Envy.
