Better than the Next Person

That is when we run into trouble. Delighting in being richer than our neighbors, more athletic than our friends, or better looking than others is being prideful....

Looking Inside: How Can We Develop Humility?

• • 
  Submit our will to the Lord’s will (see 3 Nephi 11:11; Moroni 10:32).
• • 
  Recognize the Lord’s hand in all things (see D&C 59:21).
• • 
  Pray to our Father to help us grow in humility (see Helaman 3:33–35;Ether 12:27).
• • 
  Choose not to be offended (see D&C 42:88).
• • 
  Recognize, confess, and forsake our sins (see Mosiah 26:29–30; D&C 58:43).
• • 
  Fast and pray for the needs of others (see Isaiah 58:6–7; Alma 6:6).
• • 
  Think of the Savior and renew our covenants during the sacrament(see Mosiah 18:8–10; D&C 20:77, 79).
