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.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:13
Dear Lord,
Help us to not view praying as a waste of time. On the contrary, may we realize that prayer multiplies our time because when we lift our requests to you, you do things more powerfully and efficiently than we could ever do on our own. The extra blessing is that we gain peace in our hearts and minds. So today Lord, with thanksgiving, we will take time to pray...In Jesus' Name, Amen.
