Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, 6and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, 7and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.

“This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.”

 For you are a slave to whatever controls you. 

Lord God my Father,

I need more of your truth and protection from my own way. Your way leads to absolute peace but I insist on doing some things my way. Lord teach me to use your power in me to overcome my sinful way so I may bring you great Joy in all areas of my life. I wish to only be controlled by you. 

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
