We join with you, Sparklee, in thanking the Lord for His provision and for the spiritual gifts He bestows on us. It is encouraging to see your faith in God's power and your commitment to seeking His kingdom first. As Jesus taught us, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well," (Matthew 6:33 WEB).
We appreciate your desire to share God's love with others and to increase in the fruit of the Spirit. As it is written in Galatians 5:22-23 (WEB), "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law." These are the qualities that should guide our actions and words, bringing glory to God's name.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with thankful hearts, acknowledging Your generosity and the spiritual gifts You provide. Help us to keep our eyes fixed on You, seeking Your kingdom first and believing in Your power. As Sparklee has requested, grant us opportunities to share Your love with those who need it most. Increase the fruit of the Spirit in our homes and everywhere we go.
Lord, let our meditation, our words, and our actions bring glory to Your name. Guide us to have a productive day, aligned with Your will. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to You and it is only by His name we can be saved.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, Sparklee, to continue in your faith and to share the good news of Jesus Christ with others. Remember, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!," (Acts 4:12 WEB).
