Pride---The Wicked Tormetor

[Image_of_God]

I am sorry to bug you guys again about Pride, but I can’t stop. My heart is so hard, and I cannot stop and open up. Sometimes I am so wicked that I laugh.
I need help. Pride is tormenting me! I cannot stop. I need help from God immediately. I need a new heart, a heart of humility. But how?
I try to be humble and ask God for help, but it doesn’t work. I need help!

Dear Image of God,

Don’t give up!!! Keep asking God for His help. He will answer - that I know for sure.

Pride has always been my downfall, so I know somewhat of what you might be going through. After many months of prayer and tears, God has answered my pleas. I am now at peace knowing that I have always been a failure and continue to be so - and that whatever good I do is only accomplished through the Will of God. That may sound a little harsh, but the peace that has been brought to my soul is remarkable!!!

Keep Praying, keep Praying!

i have the same problem where i think that i am so good that i can do whatever i want…
but the way i try to keep myself on track and humble is that i remind myself that there is always someone out there who is better than me… so always be respectful of others as everyone can teach you something…

It is not easy. My evil heart always becomes boastful after accomplishing something. It fails to acknowledge God as the true accomplisher of the good and in a certain sense…mocks him . It is so terrible and I feel I have been…GULP…tormented by demons.

I would suggest few things that I do for myself. Pride is something that almost everyone has. It is not easy to get rid of. However, pray hard and it can be rid of.

1. I thought you might know these verses already. However, it would be helpful to keep them in mind
2. Consecrate your heart to the Blessed Virgin Mary - she will fill your heart with lots of virtual

3. when you get to work, before start working, pray and ask God to help you to please Him in all the things that you do on that day.
4. before you leave work, thanks God and ask Him to always thankful to Him.
5. go to confession more often

…and here are the verses:

Matthew 18:4
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

1 Peter 5:5
Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

Philippians 2:3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
