Shared Prayer

All Glorious God We praise You, for every living thing grows by Your hand and every good fruit comes from You. Jesus said that He is the vine and we are the branches, and that the one who abides in Him bears much fruit, for without Him we can do nothing. We confess how often we have worked in our own strength and ended up empty and weary. Draw us back into living union with Christ, and hold us there through pressure, uncertainty, and loss. You have purposed that Your people bear much fruit, and we declare that fruit will grow in lives joined to Your Son. Feed us by Your word and Your Spirit, and let love, patience, and faithfulness rise where there has been barrenness. As we abide in Him, our God shall supply all our needs according to his riches in glory. Thank You for never asking us to bear fruit alone. Thank You for the joy of belonging to the true vine. We bless Your holy name. Amen.
