Chapter 4: 8
Practical excerpts to overcome conceit

*Offer daily thankfulness to the Lord for all what he does to you, and be grateful to Him saying:” Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits” (Psalm 103:2)

*Always remember how you were at the beginning of your journey and what you have achieved now and say what Jacob has said: “I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two groups. (Genesis 32:10)

*Humble yourself more when God gives you more.  “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (1 PETER 5:5)

*Don’t boast yourself and do not despise who are inferior to you but be grateful to the Lord for what he did to you and pray for others.

*Don’t neglect your family and your people when God blesses your life, but know how to love and give.

Prayer
O My Loving Heavenly Father
I thank you because You are searching for me and You still love me and waiting for my return.
I admit to you that my heart deceived me and I fell into conceit but here I am, bowing before you humbly and repentantly.
 Lord, you are now talking to me and to my heart, and your Book speaks about me and to me, I am hereby responding to your voice which is calling me to come back to You.
O Lord, Here I am returning and coming back to your lap and to your compassion.
