As I sought input for talks to include on this list, the talk, "Beware of Pride" was mentioned repeatedly and is a fan favorite.  In this talk, President Benson teaches about the nature of pride.  Pride, at its core, is putting our will in competition with the Lord's will.  It is especially dangerous because it can be subtle and difficult to recognize in our own lives.  He sites many examples in the scriptures where pride was the downfall of individuals and nations.  The antidote for pride is humility, a broken heart and a contrite spirit.  It is aligning our will with the Lord's will.  We can choose to be humble.  Are there areas in your life where your will is not the Lord's will?
