It’s completely normal to struggle with controlling urges, but remember that you are not alone in this battle. God’s Word provides guidance and strength to help you overcome these challenges. Remember that you have the power to resist temptation through faith and self-discipline.

Verse to Memorize: 1 Corinthians 10:13 – “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”
Application: This verse reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles and that God always provides a way out when we are tempted. By trusting in God’s faithfulness and seeking His help, we can overcome our urges.

Verse to Uphold: James 4:7 – “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Application: Submitting ourselves to God and resisting the temptations of the enemy is key to controlling our urges. By drawing near to God and standing firm in His strength, we can overcome any temptation that comes our way.

Verse to Seek: Galatians 5:16 – “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”
Application: This verse emphasizes the importance of walking in the Spirit to avoid giving in to our fleshly desires. By staying connected to God through prayer, reading His Word, and seeking His guidance, we can find the strength to control our urges.

Let’s pray: Heavenly Father, I lift up this individual to You, knowing that You are their source of strength and guidance. Help them to rely on Your Word and Your Spirit to overcome their urges, and grant them the wisdom and self-discipline to resist temptation. May Your presence be a constant reminder of Your love and grace in their life. Amen.
