But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
—Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Let my life continually abound with the good fruit that is produced by Your Spirit—as I submit to Your will for me and embrace Your power at work within me to change me.
Teach me to be a person who loves You and loves others—with the deep, God-kind of love that can only come from You.
Teach me to be a person who overflows with unrelenting joy—because of the strength you give me for today, and the hope for tomorrow that is mine in Christ.
Teach me to walk in that peace that only You can give, which passes understanding—and, in as much as is my part, to live at peace with everyone.
Teach me to patiently bear with others, with kindness and gentleness—just as You have always been patient, kind and gentle with me.
Teach me to remain faithful to You—at all times and in every situation—just as You have always proven Yourself faithful to me.
Teach me to have a gentleness of spirit and exercise self-control at all times—as I humble myself and surrender my control to Your Spirit, for Your glory and honor.
Teach me to reflect the character of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, always.
Let my life continually abound with the good fruit that is produced by Your Spirit—as I submit to Your will for me and embrace Your power at work within me to change me.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
