Dear Lord,
Sometimes we lack self-discipline. We often say things we shouldn’t, look at things we shouldn’t, think things we shouldn’t, and even have wrong motives. We feel like Paul when he says in Romans 7 “For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.” Help us to gain this powerful character trait. We want to have full control over our mouths, eyes, minds, and hearts.
In Jesus’ name, amen!
