1 Thessalonians 4:3-5

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

I always loved the Hymn "O Beautiful For Spacious Skies." Part of it is as follows:

America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self control,
Thy liberty in law.

Is this not a prayer that can be applied to each of our lives? "Confirm my soul in self control."

God Bless You!
