Forty Days of Prayer Day 38

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 1:6-7 ESV
"In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."

Day 38 - Prayer for Faithfulness
To have faith means to trust that God will do what He promises to do, that God is who He says He is (a loving Father), and that God will be where we need Him to be (with us). To be faithful means for us to live by that faith.

What does it look like to apply the principle of living by faith to our jobs/careers, parenting, and decision-making? Are we incorporating our faith in God's promises, character, and presence?

Pray to have faith to follow God and to faithfully follow when/where He leads us. Pray for our church to have faith to venture out in missions rather than to be comfortable and ineffective in our mission. Pray for faithfulness to come from His Spirit's work in us.

Keep praying for God to matures us to be more like Christ!
