Daily Devotional - Day 23

 Freedom from Unhealthy Habits

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.  Every athlete exercises self-control in all things.  They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.  So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air.  But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.  ​
-1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Payer:  

Pray to your Father to reveal any hidden or unaddressed habits and patterns in your life. Ask him to help you live purposefully.  Ask him to give you the will to submit all your ways to him and discipline your heart and body.  Pray that you can become intolerant even of trivial sin, remembering that everything you do either glorifies or dishonors Jesus.
