Can you give an example of a specific circumstance in which you know you felt God’s Spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, or self-control pour into you? Explain.

Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference:
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars... Psalm 29:5
Dear Lord,
Your voice is both powerful and majestic! Your word says...the God of glory thunders...the voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire (Psalm 29:3,7). Help us to remember this truth and be humbled by it. Give us a renewed awe of your supreme nature and your sovereign control. In Jesus Name, Amen.
