A man without self-control
is like a city broken into and left without walls.
For some time now I have found it very hard to focus during prayer. People may often notice me shifting about or turning pages in my Bible, and perhaps that is distracting to others but I can’t sit still. Sometimes it feels like everything around me is moving but me and I have to move along — even in a room dead still. Sometimes I’m just tired; however, most of the time, I have just forgotten to bind Satan.
There are other areas of my life where I lack self-control. Daily I battle with them. Daily I forget to bind Satan. This morning I recognize this fully — that I must start my day in prayer to succeed in prayer, or anything. Today my prayer will be this:
Daddy,
I find it so hard to focus on You and I know the reasons. God, there is no power like Your’s and in Thy Holy name I bind the prescence of Satan — that he would not lead me from my walk with You. For the riches of Your truth are provided to me when I walk in Your way; when none distracts me; when I allow myself to walk no lines nor drop an idle word. Please forgive me for those things I have said and done that are against Your nature for me, that I may persevere all hardships, all temptations, and all battles in You.
In Yeshua’s name, Amen.
