Jesus Helps Me Be Self-Controlled
📖 “But the fruit of the Spirit is… self-control.”
—Galatians 5:22–23 (NKJV)
Self-control means choosing what is right, even when you feel like doing something else. It means stopping and thinking before you act, speak, or react.
Sometimes you may feel angry, impatient, or tempted to do something wrong. In those moments, it can be hard to make the right choice. But Jesus helps you have self-control.
When you ask Jesus for help, He gives you the strength to pause and choose what is right. He helps you speak kindly, act wisely, and make good decisions.
Self-control helps you grow stronger in your faith. It shows that you are learning to follow Jesus in everything you do.
Prayer:
Jesus, help me have self-control in my thoughts, words, and actions. Teach me to pause and choose what is right. Thank You for helping me grow and follow You every day. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
