Pride is a quiet trap that can alienate us from God and create walls of division in our relationships. It makes us defensive, quick to judge, and slow to apologize. Cultivating humility is necessary to walk in the freedom of grace.

Jesus is the ultimate model of humility, choosing to serve others rather than be served. Praying for humility is asking God to soften our pride, align our hearts with His love, and help us treat others with gentleness.
