Day 2: "Prayer For Doing Great Things for God"

"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. "

John 15:5 (NLT)

(this is our memory verse, too. Starbucks cards for anyone who knows the verse next week : ))

Let's Pray:

Lord, Thank you that you are the vine and I am a branch. Please help me to remain in you so then I will produce much fruit. I know that apart from you I can do nothing. Lord, help me to stay connected to you everyday through reading in the Bible, and talking to you. Lord, help me to feel you near me today. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Let's Talk:

I've talked about this before that if we don't keep our cell phones charged, they die. If we don't keep plugged into God, our connection to Him will die. I'm not saying we will loose our salvation. I am saying that if we stop talking to God and reading His word to help us know what is right, our faith will whither and deteriorate.

If life is hard right now, if school is grueling and overwhelming, if home life is falling apart, if your friendships are fake or seem shallow; maybe its time to talk to God about it, get connected to Him. After all, He wants you to ask Him for help. It says in the verse that if we remain in him (stay connected) then we will produce much fruit(do good things) with our lives. God wants you to have great friendships, excel in school, and have a solid family!!! He is waiting for you to talk to him about it.

If you want to read about something even better that He wants to do; look up John 15(the verse above) in your Bible and read down to verse 7 & 8. His promises get even better!!!

When you comment back, tell me what you think about that verse. Come back tomorrow, I'll post a very important question for you that will radically change the way you think about God.
