Spirit of the Lord Almighty, the presence of God in the air we breathe, trim and prune our hearts by the words spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ, that his teachings would not fall on deaf ears or lie fallow in our souls, but would effect change and growth in our hearts, producing a harvest of justice and truth, through him who now reigns over all things with the Father through you. Amen.
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you.” – John 15:1-3
