Thank you Jesus for your never ending mercies. Thank you Holy Spirit for patiently transforming us into the image of Jesus that you may be glorified in all that we do. We pray that our hearts will be like the good soil. We ask that you would make us into people who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit to the glory of God the Father. We pray for protection from the enemies’ plan to snatch the word that you have planted in us. We ask for patience and joy to endure suffering and persecution so that we do not fall away when they come. Allow us to root ourselves deeply into a relationship with you through prayer and the Scriptures. We pray that the message of the gospel would not be choked out by worldly desires. Free our hearts from wanting anything else outside of you. We love being a part of your kingdom and being recipients of your gospel. Teach us how to live a life fully devoted to your purposes and plans on the earth. Amen.
