Asking for empowerment towards spiritual growth.
Loving Lord, I come to You with a heart full of hope for self-control. Empower me to take every thought captive and to align my desires with Your will. Foster in me a spirit of self-discipline that brings peace and joy. Help me to prioritize spiritual growth over momentary pleasures. Guide my thoughts and actions so that I may reflect Your love to those around me. Thank You for the new mercies that greet me each morning. Amen. (2 Timothy 1:7; 1 Peter 5:10; Romans 8:37)
