In Christ, praise God who saves you when you pray.

The Lord saves and preserves His people through His anointed champion, therefore call on Christ to deliver you when you face fiery trials.

The fruit of the Spirit is self-control; therefore by God's grace bring every thought, every desire, into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

The fruit of the spirit is gentleness; therefore pray for the Spirit to give you strength to patiently and cheerfully serve the Lord.

Psalter selection: 102A. This meditation connects the desperate cry of the afflicted in Psalm 102 with the Holy Spirit's intercession described in Romans 8. The psalm's anguish foreshadows Christ's suffering on the cross, while the Spirit enables believers to cry out to God as adopted children, interceding even with groanings that cannot be uttered.

The fruit of the spirit is faithfulness, therefore be diligent in all that God gives you.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

In Jesus, you are a new creation, bearing the fruit of the Spirit. Therefore, let kindness replace animosity.
