Verse of the day - Sirach 18:30 (NRSV)
Do not follow your base desires, but restrain your appetites.
Excerpt from first book - Spirituality A Journey For My Soul
Jesus said:
My dear children, please practice self-control. It is by practicing self-control that the devil is defeated. Many times throughout you life on this earth, you will be tempted to give in to things that are not good for you. Before doing something, stop and pray to Me. I will show you whether it will be good for you to do or not. If after what you prayed for brings you peace, know that it is of Me. When you pray, if you don't have peace about what you want to do, don't do it. This is My way of letting you know that what you want to do is not of Me. This is how to practice self-control. In the beginning practicing self-control will be hard, but with practice it will become easier.
