A prayer for you as you begin this lesson

Before you watch this video, we invite you to pray the following prayer: Lord, when I consider my own personal discipline, or self-control, I know there are areas where I fall short. I acknowledge that discipline and self-control are inherently beneficial, but also incredibly difficult. Empower me, Lord, to exercise more discipline over my life–over my heart, my mind, and my finances. I surrender this area to You, Lord, and I invite your power into it. In Jesus’ name, amen.
