Help everyday

“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." Galatians 5:22,23

I remember when my children were younger trying to get them all ready in time for school and getting frustrated and not always being as patient as I would have liked to be. At these times, I have learned and am still learning, to stop for a moment, just breathe, and say a quick prayer for help for my manner. That simple technique has helped me so many times to be calm and more relaxed, when under pressure. I wonder if you have practical experience of how the Lord has helped you carry the fruit of the Spirit well?

All the fruits of the Spirit are a blessing to us and build community well.

Lord Jesus,

Thanks that you are the one who empowers us to carry the fruits of the Spirit in all of our lives. Help me be patient and gentle everyday.
