When we begin following God, we are given His Spirit—the Holy Spirit. This verse ( 2 Timothy 1:7)  tells us that we are also given things like power, love, and self-discipline. If we’re honest, the self-discipline part sounds a little difficult! But really, it’s so important. The world throws so many negative things at us, and if we’re not careful, those things can distract or even take over our minds. That’s why we need self-discipline! It helps us practice turning away from what tries to control us and instead, turn toward God who wants things that are good for us. Is there an area of your life where you need more self-discipline?

 Take time to think about the ways that, with God’s help, you can work on that this week!
