What triggers prideful responses in you? What causes you to react out of fear? All of us have triggers, buttons that somehow get pushed, and we find ourselves back in the struggle with pride and fear. Knowing what tends to catapult us into these behaviors is the first step to changing them. Equally important is our attitude: Are we content to let pride and fear negatively impact our lives and leadership? Or are we ready to hand them to God and let Him transform us?
Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.—Lamentations 3:40
Prayer: Lord, I don’t want to settle for living a life ruled by pride and fear. Show me where they have a foothold in my life. Let me see myself as You see me. I believe that You can transform me. I humbly submit to Your leadership. Remake me in Jesus’ image, I ask in His name, amen.
