From Handbook to Prayer
RENEWAL
Christ must increase; I must decrease. (John 3:30)
You are the true vine, and Your Father is the vinedresser. He cuts off every branch in You that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. May I abide in You, and You in me. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can I, unless I abide in You. (John 15:1–2, 4)
Pause to add your own prayers for personal renewal.
PETITION
