The Fruits of the Holy Spirit

This is an open prayer
I hope Heaven is listening
When temptation lingered
I purposefully skipped it
I’m not trying to please Eden
It’s Heaven that I’m pleasing
I hope they follow this example
Bad fruits stay forbidden
Today I wouldn’t give in 
Your blessings I am needing
You said;
Good deeds will be rewarded
Good fruits I’d be reaping
On your vine, I’d stay divine
Heaven don’t neglect me
The fruits that I’d be yielding
The Fruits of the Holy Spirit
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience
I’d take on the road
Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, 
is going to ease the load
Faithfulness and Self-Control
steadfastly chase my goals
I pray your Spirit fuels my bones
As it strengthens my soul
