Self Control..

Father, please forgive me for the times I have said and done things rashly. Please remind me to consider self-control as “God-control”. It’s not trying to control myself with human effort. But rather it is depending on the Holy Spirit to guide my ways and choices.

Lord Jesus Christ, You defeated satan in his attempts to tempt you to flaunt Your power with a spirit of self control. And now I call upon Your blessed name. I ask You to bless me with this virtue, which is very much needed in most aspects of life.

I seek Your assistance and guidance. May Your Holy Spirit fill me with power, as I come in prayer and raise my supplications before You.

Lord Jesus, empower me with a spirit of self control when I’m tempted with sexual desires and lusts over the flesh. Help me to restraint myself from thoughts of lust. May I be pure in heart, mind and soul.

In my relationships, may I practice self-control. May I not give in to others in sexual desires except within the bond of marriage.
May I grow in deeper mutual understanding, respect, honor. And, most of all, may I grow in love for my brothers and sisters, even as I grow in self control to be able to counter and defeat most issues in life.

Lord Jesus, I believe and trust that You will deliver me from temptations and self indulgence as I place my heart in Your loving care.

Though I may stumble, Your mighty power will lead me back in focus and self control. You will deliver me from the evil schemes of satan.

I believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. May I be renewed daily with a fresh filling of Your Spirit, as I come and surrender myself. In Your blessed name Lord Jesus Christ Ie pray, Amen!

God is on my side: therefore, I declare that I cannot, I will not, be defeated.
 
We must learn to control ourselves before others. If Jesus lives in your heart, then, you will be full of love., mercy and compassion for lost souls. If you do not let Jesus control your life, then satan will take over and will make your life miserable. Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve. But as for me, I will serve the Lord. That is the right choice.
