John 15:1-8 - The True Vine

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

Prayer

Lord, I thank you because you are the true vine, the source of my life. I am humbled that you have enabled me to be a part of you. I know that you want me to be like you.
I ask that anything in me that is not fruitful, take away from me. I do not want bad habits or way of life to overcome the good that is in me.
In areas where I have started to grow and develop, let your Spirit purge and make me better. Let your word continually be a cleansing balm in me.
Without you I am nothing. Let that fact never depart from me. Continually let your life flow through me. Help me to be fruitful.
I do not want to be alone without you. I do not want to end up in the fire.
As I work on abiding in you by grace, let your words never leave me or forsake you.
Be glorified in the heavens.
Thank you, father, Jesus name. Amen
