Leaves of Life Daily Inspiration by Margaret Bird Steinmetz
A self-controlled mind is a free mind, and freedom is power. I call that mind free which jealously guards its intellectual rights and powers. I call that mind free which resists the bondage of habit, which does not live on its old virtues, but forgets what is behind, and rejoices to pour itself forth in fresh and higher exertions.
—William Ellery Channing.
That ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
—Ephesians 4. 23, 24.
Lord God, give me the power to control my mind and heart, that I may not be a slave to habits that may keep me from eternal love and blessedness. May I have sympathy and compassion for others, and cherish thy tenderness and mercy as I hold it in my daily life. Amen.
