But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance,

kindness, goodness,faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Galatians 5:22,23,25

Holy Spirit,

Thank you for living in our hearts and working in our lives.

You guided us into salvation, renewed our dead spirits

and opened our eyes to the truth.

Help us to move over - give you more room to grow in our lives:

grow your good fruit in us, we cannot do it on our own.

Help us to see you more clearly and recognise your movement in the everyday.

Keep us sensitive to your voice, your persistent nudges:

we are selfish and defiant - forgive our failures.

May the fruit of your Spirit mature and become ripe in us

so we can feed a world hungry for your love.

Amen.
