Self-Control

I have a weight problem, and I have been trying to eat better.   I come up with all kinds of solutions to better eating habits but have been unsuccessful.   I realized today that I haven’t been asking God to help me with this.  Trying to do it on my own is absolutely not working.

That made me wonder how many other things I’ve been trying to accomplish in my own power rather allowing God to help.  He does want us to ask him for help in living right for him.  Eating righ and taking care of our bodies is part of living right. When we try to do things on our own, we’ll end up frustrated.  Self-control is part of the fruit of the spirit, so if we have the Holy Spirit, we can ask for help!

Today I am asking God for help, and I’m taking Him with me through my day.

Are you asking God for help? Don’t delay – He’s ready to hear from you.
