Humble yourselves
Psalm 116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
The Lord allows us to go through trials and hardships for numerous reasons. One of them is to learn humility. When are too proud and think we stand tall, Christ cannot help us. But when we surrender and are brought low, we seek the Lord and in His mercy He doth help. Think about it, this is a Psalm written by famous King David who had riches, wealth and power untold, but he too had to be brought low and learn to call upon the name of the Lord.
Christ loves the humble soul.
Mat 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

If I am puffed up right now it is with thankfulness to God for His amazing blessings :). I certainly didn't do anything to deserve the good things He keeps sending me!
