Reading: **John 15:1–8** Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read. After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life. ** God desires fruitfulness, not busyness. True fruit comes from abiding in Christ—remaining connected to Him daily. Our lives flourish when His life flows through us.** Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer… 1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you). 2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: **Lord, teach me to abide in You every day. Let my life reflect Your love, peace, and goodness so others may see You in me.** 3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today. **Take Action:** 1. Set aside 10 minutes today for quiet prayer or worship—simply to be with Jesus. 2. Choose one fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) to intentionally practice this week.
