Seeds of Spring: A Woman's 40-day JourneyEsimerkki

Planting and Tending Your Garden SEED OF TRUTH Read Ephesians 1:15-23. What does Paul pray for the church in Ephesus and for Christians everywhere? Go back and read His prayer knowing that, as one of God's adopted "sons," Jesus prays for you each day (Hebrews 7:25). Imagine Jesus praying this prayer for you. Replace the word "you" with your name and quietly recite this passage to yourself. Believe this as true. PLANT THE SEED Quietly recite today's focus verse to yourself. Hide it in your heart and meditate on it throughout the day. Ephesians 1:18-19 "Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe." WATER THE SEED Take Paul's prayer and pray it for your family members and for a close friend. Pray it for a friend you see seeking after the Lord with all of her heart, soul, mind, and strength. Now pray it for yourself. Just as Paul prayed for the Ephesians and the church, remember that Jesus prays each day, each hour, and each moment for you. Ask Him to help you see things through His eyes. Remember to "water this seed" throughout your day. Grow truth in your heart until you have a full garden of faith and righteousness! BEAR THE FRUIT Pray that I will know him fully. CLOSE IN PRAYER Ask the Lord to bring to life all that has been planted in your heart today.
