Empowerment for growth in self-control.
Almighty God, I thank You for Your unending mercy. Today, I seek Your empowerment to grow in self-control. Teach me to be patient and gentle with myself as I strive for discipline in my life. Help me form routines that not only bring me closer to You but also strengthen my self-restraint. Create in me a clean heart that desires what is pure and good. I trust in Your perfect timing and plan. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. (Psalm 51:10; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27)
