Pride goes before destruction...

Pride goes before destruction...

Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at every proud man and bring him low, look at every proud man and humble him, crush the wicked where they stand. Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave.

A Prayer for Help

I patiently waited, LORD,
for you to hear my prayer.

You listened and pulled me
from a lonely pit
full of mud and mire.

You let me stand on a rock
with my feet firm,
and you gave me a new song,
a song of praise to you.

Many will see this,
and they will honor
and trust you, the LORD God.

You bless all of those
who trust you, LORD,
and refuse to worship idols
or follow false gods.

Psalm 40:1-4 CEV
