"Prayer for Fruit" – Inspired by Colossians 1:9-14

This striking oil painting, Prayer for Fruit, is a visual meditation on spiritual growth, wisdom, and the strength that comes from God alone. The rich, detailed depiction of a blood orange slice symbolizes the vibrant and abundant fruitfulness that believers are called to bear in their walk with Christ. The interplay of light and shadow highlights the depth and vitality of a life rooted in faith, while the dark background serves as a contrast to the radiant, life-giving fruit—echoing the passage in Colossians about being rescued from darkness and brought into the kingdom of light.

Inspired by Colossians 1:9-14, this painting embodies a prayerful longing for every believer to grow in the knowledge of God, to be strengthened by His glorious might, and to bear fruit in every good work. The bold reds and warm golden hues remind us that spiritual nourishment comes from abiding in Christ, who is our source of wisdom, endurance, and redemption.

Perfect for a home, church, or prayer space, Prayer for Fruit serves as a daily encouragement to seek God’s will, trust in His strength, and live a life that reflects His grace and love. May all who gaze upon this piece be inspired to cultivate a deeper faith and bear good fruit for the glory of the Lord.

"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." - Colossians 1:9-14
