vine – Amy Linnea

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

Read this aloud for yourself and your family:

Jesus, You are in full control. I am giving up myself as I invite You to take full reign. I am not capable of loving my family on my own. I need Your love to love them fully. I need Your peace to reign in my home. I need Your strength to do all You ask of me. I am laying down myself, as I seek Your will instead of my own.

I give you my family. Guard their hearts, minds, souls, and bodies. Protect them from all evil. Draw them close to Your heart, as You surround them with godly influences. Keep tapping on their hearts, as they bend their will to Yours and Yours alone.

I give you my future. My hopes and dreams. Open the doors you have for me, and shut firm the doors against Your will. Align my desires to Yours and Yours alone. I only want to dwell within Your will for me, Lord. Burn any dreams that are not from You. Give me answers to the areas I desperately seek You for. Let me see Your purpose for me, Lord. Walk with me, hand in hand, as I continue to seek You and You alone.

I give you my time. My talents. My everything. As You reveal your plan to me, allow me to see Your purpose. Allow me to see Your timing. Allow me to see the point of why You have allowed certain things. As I sit with You this day, remind me of Your love. Remind me of Your promises. Remind me of Your identity fashioned just for me.

I love You with all that I am. With all that I have. With all of me. Amen.
