The World, the Word

Write the word “PRAY” somewhere you will often look to remind you to stop, pray, and ask God to use you to bring Him glory.

So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified." behavior="click" close="yes" class=""]1 Corinthians 9:24-27[/su_tooltip]

Self-Control is Hard

Biblical Self-Control is Harder

Make a list of the sins you struggle with [su_tooltip style="bootstrap" position="top" shadow="no" rounded="no" size="default" title="Luke 9:23" content="23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." behavior="click" close="yes" class=""]Luke 9:23[/su_tooltip]

Humility

Take a moment to pray. Name each of the sins on your list to God. Thank Jesus for the grace and forgiveness He gave you by dying on the cross.
