Respite For the Weary
I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it that it may bear more fruit… he who abides in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.
John 15: 1-5
Dear Source of Life,
Help my children to humbly realize they can do NOTHING WITHOUT YOU. Keep them closely connected to You, O God - abide in them. Please break away anything in their life that is not "of You", and then, grow them in Your glory.
So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
Psalm 63: 4-7
Dear Lord,
Turn our mind towards you morning, noon, and night! When we start to feel anxious, fill us with your words of hope and peace. "Fatten us up" with your rich and abundant truths! Nothing about you is unhealthy--you are pure and good and right--and we can feast on your word as much as we want! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
