                • Galatians 5:17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[a] you want.

                  • Pride (NIV)

                  • Proverbs 26:12- "Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.”
                  • Isaiah 55:8-9- “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
                  • 1 Corinthians 4:7-“For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?”
                  • Proverbs 11:12-“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.”
                    • Proverbs 16:18-“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
                    • Proverbs 27:2-“Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.”
                    • Proverbs 29:23-“One’s pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.”
                    • Proverbs 8:13- “The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.”
                    • 1 John 2:16- “For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world."

                      • Practical ways to turn from pride:

                      1. Sit with Jesus

                      2. Praise-list God's qualities, put on worship music

                      3. Gratitude-start listing what you're thankful for

                      4. Ask-Who can I pray for?

                      5. Reach out-to a friend or a stranger; make eye contact with another human and get outside yourself and into the present moment.

                      6. Look up various versions of the above verses on pride

                      Scripture prayed:

                      Psalm 139:14- "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

                      "If you don't feel seen, see someone else."-Danielle

                      "The more we understand our identity in Him, these qualities of pride will diminish. You won't function out of a place of insecurity, you'll function from a place of affirmation and validation."-Cole

                      "When you get outside yourself, you'll watch the chains break off!"-Schell
