A Prayer For Walking In The Spirit

Father, Your Word assures us that if we are walking in the Spirit we will not fulfill the desires of the flesh but instead we will seek to fulfill the desires that are in accordance with the Holy Spirit that resides within the believer’s heart. Help us to be at peace with others, as far as it is possible. There are those who live in self-conflict, much like a bird, looking at its reflection, begins to attack its own image. No matter how much we reach out or respond in love or forbearance toward them we still have conflict. Give us a deep settled peace when we cannot improve the circumstances and a prayerful heart for endurance toward that which we cannot change. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
