A Prayer

John 15:1-7

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 does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Lord, I acknowledge that as I abide in You, I am fruitful.  Thank you for making me fruitful because I daily abide in Your presence through praise, worship, prayer, and meditation of Your Word. My obedience to Your Word brings my blessing. Lord Jesus, You chose me, appointed me and planted me for the purpose of producing lasting fruit. Right now I ask the Father in Jesus Name for that fruitfulness.
