He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.—Psalm 147:3 (NIV)
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness.—2 Peter 1:5-6 NIV
The holidays can test your self-control, whether it’s indulging in a rich dessert or overspending on an extravagant gift. When you feel tempted, rely on “God’s will” power. Focus on the person God wants you to be and ask for His help. You can overcome any temptation.
Lord, renew the gift of self-control within me. Help me to be the person You want me to be.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.—Psalm 147:3 (NIV)

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.—Psalm 4:8 (NIV)

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
