Prayers to Abide in Christ
Lord Jesus, you told us to abide in You, and You in us. Otherwise we cannot bear fruit. Apart from you we can do nothing. We thank You that you will abide in us, as we obey your command to love one another. We thank You that through You we will bear much fruit. (John 15:4,5)
Lord, we pray for all those not abiding in You. We pray that they will repent, and not be thrown away as worthless branches. We pray that those in the church will never dry up. We pray they will never be cast into the fire and burned (John 15:6).
