Self-control is one of the blessings produced by the Holy Spirit; but Self-control requires that I first surrender to His control. God doesn't turn me into a robot when I give myself to him. He transforms me and frees me. He transforms me into a person that desires righteousness and enables me to take control over sin and sinful vices. He frees me from the bondage of sin.
Lord grant me self-control so I might live the victorious life you have chosen for me. Amen.
Lord grant me self-control so I might live the victorious life you have chosen for me. Amen.
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. (Galatians 5:22-23 NIV)
