Great and awesome God, for whom we are designed and in whom we live and move and breathe, help us to root ourselves deeply in you, that we might always find nourishment for our souls in you, through Jesus our redeemer who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in glory forever and ever. Amen.
‘As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet such a person has no root but endures only for a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of the word, that person immediately falls away.’ – Matthew 13:20-21
