Summary
Love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—it’s hard to think of a list of attributes our kids need more than those listed in Galatians 5:22–23.
Thankfully we’re spending this entire week praying the fruit of the spirit over our kids. As we do so, it’s important to remember that the fruit of the spirit isn’t something we’re simply hoping they will work harder to accomplish; but instead we’re praying it’s evident in their lives because the Holy Spirit is present and guiding them to live as God calls.
If you haven’t already, can I encourage you to memorize these verses this week? Even better, memorize them as a family. I’ve found so many times in my life that the scripture I’ve memorized naturally comes to mind at the perfect moments because I knew the verses, and the Holy Spirit directed me to their truths.
Thank you for praying with us each week! I’m overwhelmed by the response from parents just like you who want nothing more than kids who love and follow the Lord. These days matter and praying for our kids is significant.

| 0:03.5 | Hey, guys, this Cynthia, |
| 0:15.9 | the best. |
| 0:16.8 | I'm glad that you are with us. |
| 0:18.3 | I apologize in advance for my voice. |
| 0:20.5 | We're going to just get through |
| 0:21.6 | it, though, everyone. So here we go as we pray fruit over our kids. And it's the fruit of spirits that |
| 0:27.2 | we're praying. It's out of Galatians 522 to 23. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, |
| 0:32.8 | forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. And if you've been around the church |
| 0:38.3 | very much, you probably have heard these verses. And I would just encourage you to memorize them. |
| 0:43.8 | If you haven't memorized the fruits of the spirit, now's the time to do it. And I would take it a step |
| 0:48.8 | further. I'd get your kids to memorize it too, because I have just found in my own life, |
| 0:53.3 | there's been so many practical |
| 0:55.0 | real life moments where something's going on and those verses just come to mind like the holy |
| 0:59.4 | spirit just puts them on my heart and probably in a way that I need it so the Lord is saying like |
| 1:05.3 | hey by the way remember goodness faithfulness self-control, love. And so I just think they're great verses |
| 1:11.6 | to have memorized if you haven't already done that. So let's start with that. But then taking it a |
| 1:15.4 | little further, I believe that the fruits of the spirit really come down to character. It's what God |
| 1:20.1 | wants to see in our lives. It's spelled out in these nine different attributes, but it's really what |
| 1:25.6 | it means to be Christians, committed Christians, |
| 1:28.1 | people that have the character that God wants in our lives. And people around us, and we'll talk |
| 1:32.4 | out this a little more in a minute, but are starving to see this. They just don't know it. |
