A.W. Tozer once wrote, “God cannot use a man greatly until He has broken him deeply.”
“At the root of all our disobedience are particular ways in which we continue to seek control of our lives through systems of works-righteousness. The way to progress as a Christian is to continually repent and uproot these systems the same way we become Christians, namely by the vivid depiction (and re-depiction) of Christ’s saving work for us, and the abandoning of self-trusting efforts to complete ourselves. We must go back again and again to the gospel of Christ-crucified, so that our hearts are more deeply gripped by the reality of what he did and who we are in him.”

Keller - Paul’s Letter to the Galatians
It seems the only way to kill pride is to take it to the cross by confessing it and then allowing the Holy Spirit to do His work of changing us.
