There's An App For That – "Self Control"




    love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
    generosity, faithfulness, gentleness,
               and self-control

  of self so as to be in harmony with the will of

  divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this,
      giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge
 temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly
                              kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity."
