S - Proverbs 11:2 - When pride comes, then comes shame;
But with the humble is wisdom.

O - Pride produces shame, however, wisdom comes from being humble.  Humble does not mean belittling myself but instead by acknowledging that others may know more than me and being willing and humble enough to listen to them.

A - In my work, parenting, and in being a spouse I need to acknowledge that I am not the expert in everything and that I can benefit from other people that have more experience and knowledge in a particular area than I do.  Once I acknowledge, then the next step is for me to listen.  Once I listen, then the next step is to seek out individuals that have that experience and knowledge. 

P - Dear Heavenly Father, forgive me for the times that I have been prideful and do not think I need anyone else's opinions or thoughts.  I acknowledge that you are the only one with true wisdom and understanding in every area in life.  I ask for your guidance and also that you place other individuals in my path that I can learn from, learn true godly wisdom.  I love you and praise you today.
