NOURISH THE SEED WITH THE WORD

No one born of God practices sin because His seed abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God.

God has planted a seed in our hearts where He dwells. We have to nourish that seed daily to grow and create new nature. Now, if we don't nourish it daily, weeds start to grow, the weeds of pride, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and hate. Therefore, we must stay connected to the Gardner because He constantly works to rid our hearts of those weeds.

Father, thank You for keeping us through the night, and thank You in advance for the hedge of protection You have around us today. Lord, we cover our children and their teachers with the Blood from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet. Keep them safe in their coming and going throughout this school year. Lord, help us nourish their seeds and teach them how to go. Lord, keep us still and drown out all the confusion around us, so we can hear Your voice. Lord, strengthen our faith and prayer life, so we will trust You during our troubles, Your peace will flourish, and the weeds die. Lord, don't let the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke us and make us unfruitful. Help us receive and nourish our seeds daily, so the roots of our seeds will grow deeper and help us not stumble and fall. Father, let the Word renew our minds and hearts daily to Your truth and align our hearts with Your wisdom and purpose. Lord, do not let us become complacent but give us an insatiable desire to grow in a new nature of love, kindness, humility, gentleness, faith, and grace. In Jesus' name Amen
