Day 45: Prayer for Fruit of the Spirit
Day 5: Fruits of the Spirit
Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Focus: Ask God to cultivate the fruits of the Spirit in your life, leading to personal transformation and impact on others.
Prayer:
Loving Father,
We come before You today, grateful for the transforming work of Your Spirit in our lives. As we reflect on the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—we ask for Your help in cultivating these qualities in our hearts and lives.
Lord, we acknowledge that these virtues are not merely human traits but are divine gifts that grow in us as we abide in You. Help us to remain connected to You, the true Vine, drawing nourishment and strength from Your word and Your presence. As we grow deeper in our relationship with You, let these fruits flourish in our lives.
Teach us to embody love in all our interactions, to maintain joy in the face of challenges, to offer peace in tumultuous times, to practice patience with ourselves and others, to show kindness and goodness that reflect Your heart, to be faithful stewards of the tasks You've given us, to approach our dealings with gentleness, and to exercise self-control in all aspects of our lives.
May these fruits not only transform us but also impact those around us, offering a glimpse of Your kingdom and drawing others to You. Let our lives be a testimony of Your work within us, so that others may feel Your love and grace through our actions and words.
We thank You, Father, for Your Spirit who guides, teaches, and empowers us to live lives pleasing to You. Continue to mold us, shape us, and use us for Your glory.
In the precious name of Jesus, we pray,
Amen.
