But what the Holy Spirit produces is love, joy, peace, patience, benevolence, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5: 22,23

Christ can rid you of the inner conflict. The man without God is always torn between two impulses. His nature drives him to do evil, and his conscience drives him to do good. The antagonistic desires and the crossed emotions keep him in a state of personal instability. Doctors have almost concluded that this conflict is the basis of many physical breakdowns and nervous collapse. Many doctors now believe that the causes of colds are stress, tension and internal conflict. Paul must have been in the midst of such a personal civil war when he exclaimed : "O wretch that I am ! Who will deliver me from the body of this death ?" Then he answered his own question when he said : "I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Prayer for the day

Only your Holy Spirit, Lord, can control my most intimate feelings. Help me to be aware of Your presence today.
