Step 3: Practice Gratitude

• Give Glory to God: Make it a habit to acknowledge God’s contributions in your life.
• Daily Gratitude Exercises:
  • Write down three things you are thankful for each day.
  • Share your gratitude with others, spreading awareness of God’s goodness.

Step 4: Humble Yourself

• Take Action: Actively practice humility by serving others and placing their needs above your own.
• Engage in Community: Join groups or activities that encourage service and support, helping to cultivate a humble spirit.

Step 5: Open Yourself to Receive Grace
