Prayer of Self-Control

I pray for the will to follow you.

I find it a hard passion to pursue.

To resist the evil things I want to do,

so that I can spend eternity with you.

Though it is by grace I am saved,

I want Your WILL before the grave.

So fill my heart with your desires,

and lift my spirit forever higher,

so I may become what you need:

a disciplined soldier, all for thee.
