Read

Galatians 5:16-18

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Respond

What differences do you see between a life governed by our sin nature and a life governed by the Spirit? How can you be “led by the Spirit” today?

Pray

Pause for a moment and be still.

What word or phrase about the Spirit’s fruit sticks out to you? Pray this word or phrase back to God, and then let this piece of Scripture guide your prayers.

Takeaway

Pick one idea that became apparent to you during your prayer time and carry this with you throughout the day. Check in on this idea to recall your prayer time, and use this as idea as a way to pray without ceasing.
