Encouragement and Prayer: Learn To Control Self! (9/1/23)

~

This is the audio from the September 1, 2023 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.

“It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.”
John 6:45 (NIV)

This week’s prayer emphasis is on our need to learn.  While most schools have resumed following summer break, learning is not just for school students — in fact, God continually teaches each of us and desires that we learn from Him each day!  The lessons we learn each day are often dependent on our willingness seek God for direction in all things and to accept His instruction, rebuke, correction, and training.

“Each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable.”
1 Thessalonians 4:4 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you have the heart, mind, and soul of a learner.  Pray that you would pay attention each day to the things you do with your body.  Pray that you would learn self-control in order to conduct your life in a way that is holy and honorable.  Pray that you would represent Jesus well as you learn and practice self-control.

In prayer,
Tom
