To Keep Me Connected to the Vine
Lord Jesus,
You are the vine, we are the branches. When we remain in you, you promise to remain in us and bear much fruit. Keep me always connected to you through your Word and Sacrament. Then I not only have the confidence of your presence, but also the assurance that you will work through me to bless others. While there is much in life that seeks to cut me off from you, strengthen and sustain me to always abide in you.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
