Key Word/Phrase: Producing the Fruit of the Spirit

Key Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Prayer Guide for Church Members:

“God, cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in my pastor as he submits to You. May he be a man of love- self sacrificing love that receives from You and reaches into others. May he be a man of joy- a deep settled awareness that You are in control in times of success and in times of suffering. May he be a man of peace- a reflection of You, the Prince of peace. a peacemaker among people and a peaceful presence in the church. May he be a man of longsuffering-  with resilience that stays under pressure and lovingly deals with difficult people. May he be a man of gentleness- someone who puts people at ease with his grace filled words and actions. May he be a man of goodness- one who prioritizes Godly living and showing kindness to others. May he be a man of faith- a strong example of consistent trust in You and Your Word that is lived out in practical ways. May he be a man of meekness- a strong man who is under Your control. May he be a man of temperance- one who exhibits self control and spiritual discipline.  Let him be submissive to your working in His life to grow him spiritually. Teach him how to abide in You as a branch that You can bear fruit through. God, cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in my pastor as he submits to You. In Jesus name, amen.”
