You and all you ask are in my prayers in Jesus Christ is Lord.
In all my years of faith in Jesus, I have well learned , that God Our father will never let pride take us, He will always correct and chastise us first, Just as any father who loves His son. :)

God bless

Sometimes what we think of as pride is not a sin. I find it hard to describe what I mean, but it seems to me that we are God's hands in the world, and he often works through us. If we are open to that, and we undertake His service, and it works out, then it is as if we are part of His team. We are supported by His love, and have chosen to pass it on. I don't think that what I would describe as quiet satisfaction is not pride. The sort of thing I am struggling to say is best illustrated by 2 Timothy 4:7:
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Father, help us all to fight the good fight, complete the race, and keep the faith.Amn
