Prayer
(inspired by
Galatians 5: 22-26)
Dear
Father, grower of spiritual fruit,
Let
the fruit of the Spirit blossom, mature, and ripen in my life:
love,
joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control.
There
is no law against these.
Let
me possess them!
Since
I belong to Christ,
I
have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Let
me live by the Spirit.
Let
me walk by the Spirit!
Let
me show no self-conceit,
give
no provocation,
have
no envy toward anyone else.
Let
me live in, through, and for Christ Jesus,
as
he lives in, through, and for me and his whole church.
In
the name of Jesus I ask you to perfect us,
whatever
that may take,
and
give us the grace to endure your renovation process. Amen.
