Help me to resist returning to a life bound by sin and legalism and to embrace the freedom You’ve given. Lead me, Lord, to walk by Your Spirit and to live a life of love, serving others selflessly. Let the fruit of Your Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—flourish in my heart and actions.
