“But as for that in the good soil, these are the ones who, when they hear the Word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.”

Luke 8:15

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for what You did for me and for all of us. Forgive how I continue to crucify You daily with my lack of faith, my lack of hope, my lack of trust, to surrender it all to You as You surrendered it all for us.

Create in me a clean heart that cherishes Your words.Grant me ears that hear and eyes that see. Grant that I always recognize the sound of Your voice, Lord Jesus, my Good Shepherd.

Grant that I am able to release my ego and pride so that I can reflect Your light unto others so that they grow strong in Your word, with a strong foundation, that no storm can blow away.

Thank You for the gift of today, to Serve You, Lord Jesus, Amen.
