10. VISION FOCUSED ON SELF IS PRIDE
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he
shall lift you up.—James 4:10
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty
hand of God, that he may exalt you in due
time:—1 Peter 5:6

11. NOTABLE QUOTE
Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray
that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray.
Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and
keep us engaged with Him; it will take our
attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room
in our hearts.
