"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
— Galatians 5:22-23

The nine fruits of the Spirit. When we see them as a list, we might feel burdened—"Do I need to have all of these?" But here's the key point: these aren't fruits we produce through our own effort. They're *fruits*.
Does an apple tree struggle to bear apples? No. When its roots are healthy and it receives water and sunlight, apples grow naturally. It's the same for us. When we abide in the Spirit, these fruits naturally appear in our lives.
Today, pick just one of the nine. The one you feel most lacking in. Simply pray for that.
🙏 Today's Prayer
God, let the fruit of the Spirit grow in my life. Help me understand that these aren't made through my efforts, but appear naturally when I remain in You. Today, especially fill the areas where I'm lacking with Your Spirit. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
