Cultivating self-control through reliance on God.
Gracious God, I seek Your strength to cultivate self-control in my life. Please help me to rely on Your spirit to overcome my weaknesses. When temptation beckons, let me feel Your gentle nudges guiding me toward righteousness. I desire to reflect You in my actions and decisions. Grant me patience as I grow, and let perseverance be my companion on this journey towards freedom. Shine Your light upon my path, transforming my desires into instruments for Your glory, and filling my heart with peace. Amen. (Romans 8:37; Proverbs 25:28)
