Finding joy in self-restraint and His presence.
Loving Father, I come before You with an open heart, asking for strength against my weaknesses. Help me to develop the self-control that reflects Your love and purpose in my life. As I face challenges, remind me of the joy found in self-restraint and the freedom it brings. Guide my thoughts toward Your kingdom, and fill me with a desire for what is pleasing in Your sight. May Your presence be my comfort and refuge every day. Amen. (Philippians 4:13; 1 Peter 5:8-9)
