Father, as kids of the sunshine, we not want the attitudes or conduct we practiced whereas dwelling in ignorance the place darkness reigns. After dying to self You took up residency and geared up us with the required instruments to battle our wrestle in opposition to sin. Assist us to throw off every part that hinders, entangles, or seeks to determine us with the enemy. Your self-discipline is at all times proper and good for us as a result of it means we’ll share in Your holiness. Self-control is a troublesome train because it requires humility, self-denial, restraint and full give up to You, however the reward follows as we take pleasure in an exquisite harvest of righteous dwelling. Not solely will it profit us personally, however it’ll lead to an affidavit of thanksgiving to You, make us extra like Christ and be an instance to these we search to affect. We ask for Your assist in the title of Jesus. Amen.
(Impressed by Hebrews 12:2,10 & 11)
