Humility is the Key - excerpt from sermon by Matthew P. Gill

"If we are to achieve humility, we should give cultivating humility a high priority. We must realise our dependence on the Lord to acquire humility. This requires constant effort, but it is made easier by constant, meaningful worshipful, and grateful prayer. 

If we are to pray meaningfully then we must know the true character of God, let us not forget that we have been commanded to know God, to know his character as well as we know our own. Prayer leads us to salvation and beyond, but ignorance is a deterrent to the goal of knowing God. 

It is our duty as sons and daughters of God to build within ourselves that message and purify and build our minds and bodies in a godlike way through continued use of prayer."

- Matthew P. Gill, Prophet, Seer and Revelator of the Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ, from a sermon, "Humility the Key to Spiritual Progress," given 17 June, 2012
