Today I am striving to pray about self-control 100 times. Today, consider praying about what you need self-control in. Next, find the right prayer to pray. With habits that are strongholds, we need to chop at the base of the habit to start to kill it. Praying, Father, give me self-control over _______ is good, but if you still think about the habit all the time, your prayer will rarely be answered. Instead, what if you pray, “Father, give me self-control over my constant thinking about _______.
Second, reject and replace those thoughts. With every wrong thought say, “Sorry, Lord, I praise You.” Read the Psalms and see how David “Always” praised the Lord. This is vital information because David was just like us…he had very limited self-control. But, when he worshipped and praised the Lord he had a great life. When he didn’t… disaster.
Fourth, consider setting an alarm on your phone for every 30 minutes, and praying your prayer with every alarm.
Fifth, state the top 3 reasons why you should quit. A person who states their reasons 1000 times this month has doubled their odds of quitting.
