Pride :
Feeling of superiority: a haughty attitude shown by somebody who believes, often unjustifiably, that he or she is better than others
We tend to think of pride as being arrogant or self centered, but the spirit of pride takes the role of self pity too.
During my personal prayer time I would always confess to the Lord how I believed I never operated in pride because I was always willing to forgive people and admit my errors quickly. One day the Holy Spirit showed me that I was operating in pride, because of self pity. Think about it with self pity your thoughts are always about us! Sounds like pride to me. It may not be an arrogant type of pride but its still pride.
I had to repent of that spirit of self pity, because it’s one of those little foxes that could block your prayer life.
