I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. — John 15:5
I can do nothing, without him. How often have I proved this to myself. The things I thought were sailing smoothly have come completely undone. Things that seemed to work fine no longer do. His support is essential to keep me in place against the wind and the rain. μένω... Am I staying, remaining, dwelling, abiding, waiting, continuing... ?
Prayer: Jesus, forgive me for where I have tried to be, tried to do, so much apart from you. Forgive my impatience to get to my tasks when you are ready to support me. Help me to stay longer. Help me to dwell a little more over your word. Help me wait for you to come before I get busy. Help me continue in this. I need you.
