Finding perseverance and strength in God.
Beloved Father, I turn to You in my quest for self-discipline. Breathe Your strength into my spirit and awaken in me a desire to persevere. Help me to remain steadfast in the face of challenges and cling to the hope You provide. When I feel tempted, remind me of the blessings that come from self-control. Teach me to be patient with myself as I learn and grow. May I use my experiences to strengthen not only myself but others around me. In Your grace, I find rest. Amen. (Philippians 3:13-14; 2 Corinthians 12:9)
