Prayer: The Gate

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the spirit Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control. 

Why does it seem as though on any given day my spirit can only produce a few of those?  Patience is continually elusive, self control in some areas but not others.  It seems so simple.  Sometimes I think if we focused on the fruit of the spirit there would be world peace, happy marriages, and no child would go hungry.

Gracious God,  fill my spirit with these fruits of the spirit, these good things that I may share them with the family of God and serve you. Amen
