Good Morning, God!
Lord, the headlines often speak of the consequences that result from a lack of discipline. We experience automobile accidents because we don't have the discipline to watch our speed or to not follow too close. We experience unwanted pregnancies and/or diseases because we don't have the discipline to use protection or to "just say 'no'." We begin a downward spiral to permanent disability or death because we don't have the discipline to stay away from drugs in the first place. We stand to lose privileges, education, respect, or possibly even our life, when we engage in drinking too much alcohol too quickly, called "binge drinking, especially when we are underage and don't have the proper discipline not to drink at all.
Thank you, loving God, for the gifts of discipline and disciplinarians. Inspire more of us to follow disciplined lives that lead to safety, health and success.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
