Rain and snow fall from the sky
and don’t return until they have watered the ground.
Then the ground causes the plants to sprout and grow,
and they produce seeds for the farmer and food for people to eat.
In the same way, my words leave my mouth,
and they don’t come back without results.
My words make the things happen that I want to happen.
They succeed in doing what I send them to do.
JOHN15:7-8 (CEV)
Stay joined together with me, and follow my teachings. If you do this, you can ask for anything you want, and it will be given to you. Show that you are my followers by producing much fruit. This will bring honor to my Father.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Fruitfulness is always an indicator of God's activity.
PRAYER
God, you are busy creating and caring. Thank you for inviting us to work alongside you. I confess my propensity to wander and work independently of your guidance. Reestablish the bond so that your fruitfulness will be revealed through me. In this way I want my life to be about honoring you. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
