The Fruit of the Spirit is Gentleness. This Sunday, we will focus on gentleness as we continue in our study of the Fruit of the Spirit. From Scripture, we know a lot about the person of Jesus. However, on one of the only occasions that Jesus describes Himself, He tells us that He is gentle and lowly of heart (Matt 11:29). Church, we are called to be like Jesus. God’s Spirit purposes to make us be like Jesus. Let us grow in the fruit of gentleness.
Prayer Guide: December 13, 2020 – Gal 5:22-23 / Titus 3:1-2
1. Worship the God who reveals Himself to be fierce like a lion and gentle like a lamb.
2. Praise Jesus, the One who graciously invites sinners to Himself to find rest and salvation.
3. Ask God’s Spirit to illumine to you a lack of gentleness in your life and give you grace to confess and repent. Pray that God will give you a strong desire to grow in this fruit and thus be characterized by gentleness.
4. Pray that your family would be characterized by gentleness. Ask God to give you grace and discipline to respond to unmet expectations, unexpected circumstances, hurt, pain, and sin in a way that honors Him and values different members of your family.
5. Ask God to stir the hearts of every member and regular attender of Trinity Baptist Church to generously support the ministry and expenses of the church as well as March for Missions Offering.
6. Thank God for the promising news on the COVID-19 vaccine front. Ask Him to protect our church and our community from further spread and loss of life due to the virus.
7. Ask the Lord to raise up men and women who will be faithful to proclaim Christ and share the gospel (work the harvest). Pray that God would grow both our church family and a righteous influence here in Amarillo.
