"The pride-induced denial of the spirit of prophecy and revelation may be very blatant and open, but often it comes in more subtle, disguised forms. Speaking of the proud, President Benson illustrated some of these [forms]:
"We pit our will against God's. When we direct our pride toward God, it is done in the spirit of 'my will and not thine be done.'... The proud cannot accept the authority of God giving direction to their lives (see Helaman 12:6). They pit their perceptions of truth against God's great knowledge, their abilities versus God's priesthood power, their accomplishments against His mighty works. . . . The proud wish God would agree with them. They aren't interested in changing their opinions to agree with God's." (CR, April 1989, p. 4.)
