Praying for self-control

Spent part of my prayer time this morning just praying that God would help me with my self-control.

I was reminded of 1 Corithians 10:13:

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

 Bits and pieces of it are committed to memory, but this week I'm going to memorize that Scripture in full.  I'm going to claim that promise from God as my own.  Because for me, food is my temptation.  And my over-indulgence is sin.  God demands my repentance and my turning away from sin.  He'll help me through it.

Need to spend more time on my knees and less time stuffing my face.
