be careful what you ask for

Did you know that if you ask God to humble you He probably will? Twice this has happened to me this week. It hit me so hard, sent me into tears and feeling of depression. I'm still bugged by these events, but I want to accept humility. How do we do this? I don't want to just brush them off so I simply feel better. I want them to soak in as lessons, to accept them as part of His pruning. Ouch, but how much prettier I'll be later.

6But He gives a greater grace Therefore it says, "GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE." 7Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:6-7
