Heavenly Father, perfect Your love in us, that we may overcome all selfishness and hatred of others. Fill our hearts with Your joy, shed abroad in us peace which passeth understanding; so that those murmurings, disputes, and complaining, to which we are too prone, may be driven out in Jesus’ name. Make us long-suffering, humble, and gentle. Subdue our anger and hastiness to judge, and let love overtake all other emotions. Help each of us to see our faults and ask for forgiveness. Father, grant us favour to bring forth the fruit of the Spirit, bringing praise and glory, to Your holy name, through Jesus Christ. Amen.
