Thursday
Read John 15:1-8
15 “I am the real vine, and my Father is
the gardener. 2 He breaks off every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and
he prunes every branch that does bear fruit, so that it will be clean and bear
more fruit. 3 You have been made clean already by the teaching I have given
you. 4 Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. A branch cannot
bear fruit by itself; it can do so only if it remains in the vine. In the same
way you cannot bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 “I am the vine, and you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will bear much fruit; for you can do nothing without me. 6 Those who do not remain in me are thrown out like a branch and dry up; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, where they are burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it. 8 My Father's glory is shown by your bearing much fruit; and in this way you become my disciples.

Think
Remain in me and if you ask for anything,
you shall have it. We don't seem to get
what we ask for, but I think that if love was the motivation for our requests
we might find that we receive our answers more clearly.
Pray
Lord let love motivate all of my prayers.
