I really want help in overcoming my pride. My parents were alcoholics growing up and I wonder if codependency is part of this. It feels so strong in me and I need prayer to get free.

Hello Carolyn! A major part of pride is insecurity. And yes, being raised in an environment that doesn’t nurture your fragile childhood esteem can be very traumatizing. I think you would benefit from a free empowerment session… Are you interested? xoXo

Praying for you in Jesus name, Carolyn. Yes, I’m struggling with pride as well. Praise God that He let us see our disgusting sin that is NOT allowed in Heaven. Pride is what got Satan kicked out of Heaven, so God DEFINITELY will not let the prideful in. Remember, that we can do NOTHING without Jesus, so just make sure to tell Him that you need salvation that comes from Him alone. Confess with your mouth! (Romans 10:9-10 KJV). Say it to Him even if you’ve said it before! What would it hurt to ask again? (Only pride would stop you) Sometimes pride can make us think that just because we believe, that we are saved. That’s called easy believism. True repentance is HUMBLE repentance. It’s not just a proclamation. It is a new way of life GLORY TO GOD!! Turning from that wicked pride and reaching out to JESUS for help with that. No one else can save you from pride, sin and God’s wrath except the powerful blood of Jesus. I pray that God will lead and guide you and help you with this spirit of pride JUST like He has been helping me. It is not overnight, but when you put on the armor spoken about in Ephesians…that is what I have found to be EXTREMELY helpful. I told Jesus that I had enough of my ugly pride and needed help. Now He is putting me in situations to test that pride and SLOWLY (because of my pride lol!) He is taking that pride out of me. I still need help. It’s a daily choice, but praise God, it keeps us close to Him when we chose to work on these things!!! God bless and protect you, Carolyn. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!!!
