The fruit a plant bears tells a story of the plant that produces it, is evidence that a plant is alive and growing healthy, is the means by which the plant disseminates seeds, and is useful as a food that offers healthy benefits and good taste. Our focus today is to pray for fruitfulness for our children. The Bible says in John 15:5: “If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
Lord, I pray that my children will abide in you...trust you...delight in you...have confidence in you...and meditate day and night on your word...so that they might bear fruit. Plant them by streams of water and grow them in favorable conditions so that they might be fruitful. I give them to you, the Vinedresser, knowing that apart from you they can do nothing. May they live by the Spirit and bear fruit that will last.
