Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Reading: John 15
Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.
Jesus emphasizes the importance of abiding in Him to bear lasting fruit. A disconnected branch cannot produce life—it must stay joined to the vine. Stay connected to Jesus today through conscious dependence, prayer, and time in His Word.
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…
- Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
- Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Ask Jesus to help you abide more fully in Him and rely on His strength rather than your own.
- Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
Take Action:
- Schedule 15 minutes of uninterrupted quiet time with God today.
- Choose one area of your life to intentionally surrender to Christ's control.
