“The Holy Spirit Helps Me Have Self-Control”
📖 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
—2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
Sometimes your feelings feel really big. You might feel angry. You might feel excited. You might want to say something right away. You might want to do something without thinking.That’s when the Holy Spirit helps you have self-control. Self-control means stopping to think before you act. It means choosing what is right, even when feelings are strong.
The Holy Spirit helps you pause before speaking, calm down when emotions are big, choose gentle words, obey even when it’s hard, stop yourself from doing something wrong, and make wise choices.
Self-control doesn’t mean pretending feelings don’t exist. It means letting the Holy Spirit help you choose how to respond. Every time you stop, pray, and choose what is right, the Holy Spirit is helping you grow more like Jesus.
Talk About It:
- What feeling is hardest for you to control?
- How can the Holy Spirit help you pause before reacting?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help me have self-control. Help me stop and think, choose what is right, and respond with love. Thank You for helping me every day.
Amen.
