Self-Control Prayer

The Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)

A few years ago I said this in a post about control:

Self Control is not mind control ... actually it is the opposite of mind control. Self Control is the exercise of the inner man over the outer man.

It is a fitting conclusion to this list of spiritual fruit. It represents the way that character is manifested - from the inside out.

We ask you dear Heavenly Father to grant grace to us that the Holy Spirit would cause our hearts to come alive and put to death the deeds of the flesh. In Your name and for Your sake we pray.

Amen
