Are you in a place in your life that is absolutely unbearable? Are you continually unhappy, angry, and depressed? You have prayed and prayed about it but still nothing changes. If so here is the answer. You need a change of attitude. You need the manifestation of the ‘fruit of the Spirit’ in your life. This fruit belongs to the Holy Spirit.
You cannot change your attitude no matter how hard you try if you don’t ask God for the fruit of His Spirit. You cannot produce joy or peace in your life no matter how hard you try. Your job is simply to make yourself available for the Lord to produce His fruit in your life. You need to pray like this. Lord here is my whole heart and my whole mind.
I ask you to completely change my attitude and produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit within me. Thank you Lord for answering my prayer in Jesus name, amen.
You may need to pray this prayer more than once, perhaps once a day or more, but God will answer it if you asked sincerely by faith. The more of the Holy Spirit we have in our lives the more fruit of the Spirit we will have, but even so, we must cooperate with the Spirit and not hinder Him if it is to work.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, against such there is no law” (Gal 5:22-23). {Material taken from’Harvest Warrior’s Newsletter / “The Fruit of the Holy Spirit.”)
