Heavenly Father,
You are our good and loving Father, and there is no one like you! We are in awe of you and your power and majesty. We desire to live our lives to your glory, and to live out all aspects of the gifts of your Spirit. Specifically today, we pray that you be with us in the area of SELF-CONTROL. Give us the strength and willingness to stay faithful to you, and in full control of ourselves. In all that we do, help us keep your commands and desires for us close at heart and at the front of our mind, and help us to recognize the temptations and sins that so easily entangle us, maintaining control through the power that you provide. Empower us with your Spirit as we go about our day and interact with others, and help us to remain strong and bold in our belief and proclamation of you. Through our actions and words, help bring more people to know you and your perfect saving grace, ultimately becoming fully devoted followers of Christ and also emboldened to speak your Word.
We thank you for all you have done for us and continue to do in our lives each and every day. We pray this all in Jesus’ holy name, Amen.
