God dwells within us ;
Sprit of God dwells within us !
Arise mightily within us, oh Spirit of God ;
Help our soul to give your fruits ;
Fruits of the Spirit ! 1
Fruits of Love – Joy – Peace ;
Faith – Self control – Gentleness ;
Goodness – Kindness – Endurance !
By our own flesh’s strength, it is tough ;
Unless you empower us, oh Spirit of God,
we tend to yield only our flesh’s fruits,
in our weakness, lacks, temptations, fear.
In our ignorance, iniquities, infirmities,
Rise mightily within us, oh Spirit of God,
help us yield your fruits always !2
May Love, Joy, Peace fill my heart
even amidst hatred, fear and chaos around.
Plant Faith in my heart or increase my insufficient faith,
when situations tries to plant doubt and fear ;
Increase my Self control ,
when my freedom, resources and power increases ;
Help me grow more in Gentleness,
as I increase in stature and authority ;
Remind me always to be Good and Kind to others,
even when my emotions want to do otherwise ;
Increase my Endurance when people overwhelm me,
and situations around me tempt me to burst ;
But oh Lord, let not my kindness, Goodness and Endurance
allow others to control and rule me.
Rise mightily to remind me, you only is the Lord ;
My kingdom is yours only not any other power’s !
Your Will is done here not any other power’s !
Not the will/desire of the world, its people, darkness or even my own flesh;
But only my Father’s will,
For the will of my Father is Peace, healing and secured rest for me.3
And his thoughts for me are Good always
And his plan is to Prosper me !4

Note: We often
When our spirit aligns with Spirit of God, it empowers our soul to yield the fruits of the spirit. Otherwise we often give in to our flesh's emotions and react, respond. It is difficult and takes our willingness and hardwork over years to discipline our flesh to subdue and listen to the spirit's guidance within!
The Love and Power of God enables us to come to that place !
