Self Control it's a big one. I have to dig deep and really get some healing done on this one. There are so many areas in which to exhibit self control that I am sure we each fail somewhere. I know I do big time!
I am just going to copy the list here from Revive our hearts and then we can examine our own hearts and start praying about where it is we tend to lose control.
•Are you self-controlled in your use of time?
•Are you prone to emotional outbursts, to anger, to temper?
•Is your tongue controlled and restrained by the Spirit of God?
•Do you have command and discipline over your body and your physical appetites: food, sexually, morally, alcohol, drugs?
•Are you moderate and temperate in your eating habits, your exercise habits?
•Are there any habits that enslave you, habits that are not godly habits?
•Are you willing and able to restrain yourself from unnecessary extremes?
◦In the way you spend money?
◦In the kinds of clothes you buy?
◦In your work habits and doing chores around your home?
•Are you disciplined to do the job when it needs to be done?
•Are you a perpetual procrastinator?
If we have self control we can avoid a bunch of situations we would other wise and probably have already gotten ourselves into.
