Prayer Email archive: (06/16/2002) self control |
Hello prayer warriors,
1. Prayer note: self control [Galatians 5:22-23] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. God has given us the spirit of self-control. What does that mean? It means that we are the ones who decide whether we want to be depressed or not be depressed. We are the ones who decide on what we want to think on and on what we want to do with our time. We are the ones who decide whether we want to stop a habit that we've been trying to kick. [2 Timothy 1:7] For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. We have a choice how we want to live our lives because God has given us that power. He has given us a spirit of power, of love and of self-control that we may live our lives to the fullest. We can overcome situations, and we can choose how we want to live our lives because He has given us that power. All we need to do is use it and not let circumtances or our feelings control us. [John 16:33] These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. [Philippians 4:13] I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. So, if you want to make a change in your life, start believing that you can. Come to God with the problem and ask Him to help you overcome. He can help us overcome and we already have the power to do so because we have His spirit in us, which is a spirit of power, of love and self control. Use the power! 2. Prayer requests: i.
