Fill me with the fruit of love, that I may love You with all my heart and love my neighbor as myself. Let Your love flow through me, touching the lives of those around me.
Fill me with the fruit of joy, that I may experience a deep and abiding joy in You, regardless of my circumstances. May my joy be a source of strength and hope to others.
Fill me with the fruit of peace, that I may be a peacemaker and bring reconciliation to conflicts. Let Your peace guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Fill me with the fruit of forbearance, that I may be patient and long-suffering, even in the face of adversity. Help me to extend grace to others as You have extended it to me.
Fill me with the fruit of kindness, that I may show kindness and compassion to those I meet. Use me as an instrument of Your kindness in the world.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
