Faith Confession

I receive your Word as a seed sown in my heart. It yields good fruit in me—thirty, sixty, a hundredfold. The cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches will not choke the Word and make it unfruitful. I delight in the law of the Lord and meditate on it day and night. I will not fall away when tribulation and persecution arise on account of your Word, but will be like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season and whose leaf does not wither. You have chosen me and appointed me to go and produce lasting fruit. In all that I do, I prosper because I abide in your Word, and your Word abides in me (Psalm 1:2–3, John 15:7, 16).
