Day 18 – Tuesday
Mark 4:1-20 (parallels: Matthew 13:1-23, Luke 8:1-15)
You who sow the
seed of life broadly, enable us to respond to You with deep trust. Let our
lives grow, blossom and produce fruit that points to your generous presence and
provision in our lives.
In spite of our
history with You, and in spite of the myriad ways that You have provided for us
and shown your faithfulness to us, we are still inclined to allow our lives to
become tangled up in worry. We are easily deceived into believing that we need
things that are nearly as ephemeral as the grass of the field. We cling to
those things as though our life depended upon them, not You.
Overcome the
control that worry and delusion hold over our lives. Liberate us from anxiety
and deceit. Forgive us for our paltry faith. Unleash your energizing Spirit
within us in such ways that we produce abundant fruit for your realm and for
your glory.
We want to be all
yours and all for You. Amen.
