The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Galatians 5 lists the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. I cannot grow nine fruits in one day. I can probably grow one a tiny bit. Pick one for me. Maybe patience this week. Patience with my mom in the morning. Patience with the friend who texts too much. Patience with myself. Slow growth is still growth. The fruit list is what You produce in me, not what I work up on my own. My job is to stay near the vine. Yours is the fruit. Help me remember that the patience I am asking for comes from time spent with You, not from trying harder by force. Amen.
