PRIDE

Heavenly Father, teach me to be humble. I know I have nothing to be prideful of, for all that is good that is in me is from You. Lord, You are my source of wisdom, success and everything about me that is good. Thank you for being a kind, loving Father, teaching me and helping me grow into the person that I am meant to be. Amen.
