Proverbs 25:28
Proverbs 25:28 says, “A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.” This verse is a warning against lacking self-control, which can expose a person to danger and temptation.

Proverbs 16:32 says, “Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.”

In this verse, Solomon praises people who control their temper. He says that while it’s impressive to defeat others in battle, self-control is an even rarer gift

Do you have a struggle going on inside of you? A fight for control. Our willpower fails us repeatedly.
Self-control vs. Willpower

Self-control is not willpower. It is not something we get by gritting our teeth and forcing ourselves to just say no.
Self-control is called a fruit.
Fruit doesn’t instantly pop out on the tree. As the tree grows and seasons pass, the fruit naturally develops.
As we continue to follow God’s guidance. Taking one step at a time, our self-control will gradually grow.

Father, teach those who struggle with self-control the ability to check their emotions and give them to you. Help them to realize that obedience and unity are the key to peaceful life. In Jesus’ Name ~ Amen !!

Father, remove anxiety, depression and stress from our lives. Help us to live one day at a time and lay our burden about tomorrow at your feet. In Jesus’ Name ~ Amen !!

“…Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, The things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

When doors close unexpectedly, it could mean God is guiding us away from mistakes or towards better paths, even if we can’t see it at the moment. Trusting in this guidance can help us find peace and new opportunities amidst uncertainty.
