Lord, let your Spirit bear fruit in our lives!
Galatians 5:22-24 ESV
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires."
1 Peter 2:15 ESV
"For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people."
Day 37 - Prayer for Goodness
Jesus was called "good teacher," and responded by saying "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone" (Luke 18:19). But we are called to do good, and we can because God makes us good by sanctifying us and making us more like Christ. We are salt and light as we demonstrate the character of Christ as God works in and through us. And the world then tastes the goodness of God.
When people see a Christian marriage or family operating as it should, when Christians in business uphold integrity, character, and care above profits, when a Christian man or woman avoids gossip or shows love for neighbors, the goodness of God is undeniable and irresistible.
Pray for God's goodness to shine in your life and relationships, and pray for God's goodness to characterize EACF, so that everyone who meets us gets a sense that we serve a living and a good God!
Keep praying for God to matures us to be more like Christ!
