21 Days of Prayer & Fasting: Day Five | Abide In Me

Today's Passage: John 15:1-8Today's Prayer: May we start our day with truth. Jesus, you are the vine and God is the gardener. From your true vine is where we grow. We fight the urge to water our own soil with comforts of the world, disconnecting from the true vine. Prune away the places in our lives that are withering and dead. Areas where apathy, impatience, anger, idleness, indifference have begun to take root. As you prune the branches producing good fruit and we feel the wince of discomfort, may we find comfort in the nearness of your presence and hand as the pruning takes place. Remember, through pruning, more fruit can grow. Abide in me and I in you. An invitation and a promise that Jesus has spoken. We are invited to abide in Christ as he promises to abide in us. May we live in a way to stay connected to the true vine and have the words of Jesus come true in us.  For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever…AMEN.NOTES & LINKS:21 Days of Prayer and Fasting WebsitePDF Guide to Prayer & FastingAs part of the 21 days, we're committing to 21 days of 24/7 prayer.
