The Fruits of the Spirit

God, I want to have a close relationship with You—not only to know You in a deeper way, but also to produce good fruit that's rooted in You. Such fruit is a natural outpouring of knowing You and Your love. Help me to be more joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, good, and faithful. Strengthen my relationship with You so that Your fruit becomes a natural part of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
