Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 John 3:18
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, -Galatians 5:22
DEVOTION
Based on Galatians 5
This verse paints a beautiful picture of the character that the Holy Spirit produces in the lives of believers. The fruit of the Spirit is not a checklist of behaviors but a reflection of God’s nature at work within us. Each quality—love, joy, peace, patience (longsuffering), kindness (gentleness), goodness, and faithfulness—is evidence of a life yielded to the Spirit’s leading.
As we walk in step with the Spirit, these fruits grow and flourish in us, transforming our relationships, actions, and responses to challenges. They are not produced by our efforts alone but through surrendering to God and allowing Him to work in and through us. The fruit of the Spirit is a testimony to the world of God’s presence and power in our lives.
Take a moment tonight to reflect on how the fruit of the Spirit is evident in your life. Breathe out self-reliance, and breathe in the Spirit’s power to transform your heart. Trust that as you remain connected to Him, His fruit will grow abundantly.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Praise God for His Spirit, who dwells within you and produces His divine character in your life. Rejoice in the beauty of His love, joy, and peace that flows through you as you remain in Him.
CONFESSION: Reflect on moments when you’ve resisted the Spirit’s work or struggled to exhibit these fruits. Confess any areas where you’ve relied on your own strength rather than the Spirit’s power.
THANKSGIVING: Thank God for the work of His Spirit in your life, transforming you to reflect His love and goodness. Express gratitude for the ways He has already grown these fruits in your relationships and responses.
SUPPLICATION: Father, I ask You to help me remain connected to Your Spirit so that Your fruit may grow in me. Teach me to love as You love, to find joy in Your presence, to experience peace in every situation, and to show patience in trials. Let Your kindness, goodness, and faithfulness be evident in my actions, bringing glory to Your name. Strengthen me to live a life that reflects Your Spirit’s work.
PRAYER
“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.”1
JOHN 3:18
Dear Heavenly Father, You are steady and trustworthy in all You do. I can trust that whatever You declare, Youwill do. Your word and Your actions are one and the same. I pray that I would have the same steadiness. I pray that You would empower me to be trustworthy, backing up my words with my actions. I don’t just want to say I love people, I want to show it with my deeds. Give me vision and clarity daily to put my love into motion by helping those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.🙏🏾
