Seeking a renewed spirit of self-control.
Gracious Lord, I yield my heart to You today, asking for a renewed spirit of self-control. Teach me to monitor my thoughts and actions closely and to focus on the things that uplift and empower me. I pray for the courage to turn away from distractions that draw me from Your light. Instill in me a deep desire for purity and integrity, reminding me always of the blessings that follow obedience to Your Word. May my life reflect Your love as I grow in self-discipline. Amen. (Romans 12:2; Proverbs 4:23)
