James 4:6

But He gives us more and more grace (through the power of the Holy Spirit to defy sin and live an obedient life that reflects both our faith and our gratitude for our salvation). Therefore, it says, “God is opposed to the proud and haughty, but gives (the gift of) grace to the humble (who turn away from self-righteousness).

God gives us the grace to turn away from sin with the help of the Holy Spirit. When we humble ourselves before God and ask for help in faith, God will answer our prayers. We can’t let pride get between us and help from God because we can’t do the miracles and changes we need.
