Let us pray …fruits of the spirit

Heavenly Father,

I come before You with a heart full of thankfulness. You are my Creator, my Sustainer, and my constant Source of strength. As Your Word says, “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24). I rejoice in You today, Lord, and give thanks for all You have done in my life.

Help me to delight myself in You, as Your Word says, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4). I find my greatest joy in knowing You, trusting that Your plans for me are good and perfect.

Lord, I seek Your will for my life above all else. Your Word tells me to, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). Teach me to trust You fully, and guide my steps, leading me in the way I should go.

Give me discernment to know Your will. “For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6). I humbly ask for wisdom, clarity, and understanding, that I may discern what is pleasing to You. “Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path” (Psalm 27:11).

Father, I pray for Your protection over my life. Your Word says, “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and He delivers them” (Psalm 34:7). I trust in Your protection and the angels You send to walk with me. Keep me from harm and deliver me from all evil.

Grant me Your wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in all that I do. “Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding” (Proverbs 3:13). May Your Word be a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105), guiding me through every decision I make.

Thank You, Lord, for hearing my prayer. I surrender all my desires, plans, and dreams into Your hands. “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act” (Psalm 37:5). Let Your will be done in my life today and always.

In Jesus’ name, I pray.

Amen.
