Empowerment to resist fleeting pleasures.
Gracious Lord, today I lay before You my quest for self-control. Empower me to resist immediate pleasures that deter me from a life of purpose and fulfilment. As I navigate through temptation, instill within me a sense of balance and discipline. Help me to reflect on the lasting joy found in pursuing Your path, rather than fleeting momentary choices. I trust in Your guidance for my transformation into a vessel of honor. (Romans 12:1-2; 1 Peter 5:8)
