Fierceness of Mind

Lord, I need fierceness of mind. All too often I let myself get dragged down by my emotions. Cannot! If I want to be a man of God, I need to beat my body and make it my slave, so that like Paul puts it, "so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."

Need fierceness and focus of mind. Faithfulness. Even when the going is tough and I feel like slacking. Cannot! Proverbs says that one who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys. God knows how much I've slacked. And I'm sick of it. I need His help to push me and change my inner attitude. I am a slacker, but Jesus is my Saviour.
