A black-and-white rabbit sits on a worn stone step beside a weathered blue door, with the sea opening out behind and pink blossoms crowding the path. The morning prayer here asks for a gentle spirit for the day ahead: to forgive without keeping score, to speak with love, and to find joy in the ordinary gifts God places in our hands.
A little prayer beside the sea, for gentle hearts and joy in the simple things. 🐰🌊🙏 #churchbunnies #bunnylove #rabbitsoftiktok #bunniesoftiktok #cutebunnies
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,”
Galatians 5:22 (KJV)
Paul lists the fruit of the Spirit right after describing the works of the flesh, things like strife, jealousy, and anger. Fruit is the right word. It is not manufactured by effort or pressure but grows from a living connection, the way a branch bears what the vine supplies. Love, joy, peace, and gentleness are signs of God at work in a life.
Gentleness can sound weak, but it takes real strength to forgive quickly and to answer sharp words softly. Joy in simple things takes attention too, the kind that notices a sea breeze, a doorstep in the sun, a kind word. This prayer does not ask for a dramatic day. It asks for a heart where good fruit can quietly ripen.
