Whenever you get into strife with others, take a few minutes to excuse yourself and pray. The prayer I will answer is, "Lord, thank you for forgiving me of my pride. I humble myself before you." At that moment when you pray that prayer, My grace will flood your inner being.
I resist the proud, but I give grace to those who will humble themselves before Me. Pride is always the source of contention. It is so easy for your flesh to be activated when someone disagrees with you. Immediately you want to either defend yourself or prove your point in some way.
I want you to walk in My Spirit instead of your flesh. I want you to have a humble walk with Me that allows Me to shine My glory through everything you do and say. It would be helpful if you would submit to Me every morning by praying this prayer from your heart, "Lord, I humble myself before you this day. I want to go Your way, not my way today"
JAMES 4:5-8
