Today’s Verse:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. " - Galatians 5:22-23

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

You promised us the fruit of the spirit in our lives. So that in return, we may SHOW people our qualities to live in the spirit: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These are our precious inheritance from Your son Jesus Christ. Father, bless us abundantly, so that the world may distinguish us as Christians, as the pure stream of water out from muddy rivers.

Before Jesus left us, He said in John 15:8,16 "This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. " & "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you."

Father, as it is written, You are the essence which we need to grow, all other matters: soil, water, atomosphere etc. are just merely nothing as compared to Your gracious love and blessings. Father, we are experiencing You everyday, every moment of our lives! Although it may seem that You have failed us in lieu of success, You brought us sadness on behalf of the joy; or even long-lasting stability in a different kind of meaning, but Father, we must remember to be patience in the suffering. (James 5:7)

Father, we will never know the power of prayer, until we pray fervently. Father, we do not know whether it is worthy to pray any longer if we planned to stop when "nothing seem to be happening"... But if we are willing to trust Him, our seeds of faith will definitely grow.

In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
