For Healthy Drinking Habits

Dear Lord,
Keep me honest when it comes to my relationship with alcohol. Being aware of my susceptibility to self-deception regarding my drinking habits is essential for maintaining control. When I convince myself that addictions or alcoholism are only problems other people have, I’ve already let my guard down and have become vulnerable. Let me be aware of signs of concern, help me establish healthy boundaries and limitations for myself, and give me the courage to permit others to provide additional guardrails of accountability. Through these channels, shield me from ever normalizing excessive drinking, and allow alcohol to remain a blessing in the area of Christian freedom, always enjoyed in moderation. Remind me regularly that even eating and drinking are done to your glory.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Moderation in My Screen Time

Dear Lord,
Give me a spirit of self-discipline in my usage of technology and screens. There are tremendous blessings available to us through our phones and laptops, but any blessing can quickly become a burden if I allow myself to become enslaved by it. In order to determine if my screen time has reached unhealthy levels, I have to be aware of how much time I spend on my devices. If I notice others commenting on my frequent usage, let me take it to heart and make changes rather than becoming bitter. Help me sort out the good and beneficial uses from the unnecessary and negative ones. Let moderation be my mantra, so that my relationship with screens honors you and allows me to be present to serve others.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
