Prayer
Heavenly Father,
You know my struggles—the moments when I give in too quickly, speak too soon, or act without thinking. Today, I ask for the fruit of self-control.
Help me to resist temptation and stay strong in moments of weakness. Guard my tongue, steady my emotions, and guide my actions. Teach me to pause and seek Your will before I react.
Let Your Spirit lead me in all things, so that I may honor You in my choices, thoughts, and habits. Strengthen my will to follow what is right, even when it’s hard.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Reflection
Self-control is not about willpower alone—it’s about surrender. When we yield to God’s Spirit, He gives us the strength to master ourselves through Him.
