Growth: Unveiling and Overcoming Subtle Pride

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 21-day journey on spiritual growth, focusing specifically on the subtle forms of pride that quietly influence our hearts and actions. Pride is often thought of as overt arrogance or boastfulness, but it also shows up in quieter, less obvious ways that can hinder our relationship with God and others.

Throughout these 21 days, we will uncover the sneaky, subtle ways pride appears in our daily lives — from a need for control, to impatience, or even the desire to be seen as ‘good’ or ‘right.’ Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward transformation.

Pride can be deeply ingrained, often masquerading as confidence or self-assurance, making it harder to spot. It feeds on comparison, dissatisfaction, and self-focus, preventing the humility God desires. But growth occurs when we daily surrender these attitudes, choosing instead to submit to God's ways and invite His Spirit to reshape us.

This study is designed not only to help you identify and understand the subtle pride in your life, but also to give practical tools to surrender it daily. Each day includes Scripture to illuminate the truth, devotional reflections to encourage and challenge you, and journaling prompts and prayers to help you apply what you learn personally.

Remember, growth is a process — often slow and quiet, but powerful. As you engage faithfully in this journey, you will find the freedom and joy that come when pride loses its grip and God’s grace takes root deeply in your heart.

Let’s begin together with an open heart, ready to see ourselves clearly and embrace God’s transforming love. 🌱
