Praying from 1 Corinthians 6:12. Themes: Freedom, Self-control, Expediency.

Dear Lord, I acknowledge that all things are lawful for me, but not all things are expedient. Help me to discern what is right and beneficial for my life. May I not be brought under the power of anything that will lead me away from your will. Grant me the strength and wisdom to make choices that honor you and bring glory to your name. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
