Personal Prayer
Praise Jesus, the true vine, for the privilege of being one of his branches. Thank him for the promise of union with himself (Jn. 15:4). Confess the times when you have proudly thought of yourself as the vine rather than as a branch. Commit yourself to remaining in the true vine. Ask God to keep you firmly attached to the vine so that you can bear much fruit.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for childless friends who desire to have children. Ask God to give them this desire of their heart. Pray that they will have patience to wait on the Lord and to submit to his timing.

For the Church
Pray that the leaders of your congregation will be fruit-bearing branches. Pray that a vital union with Christ will be evident in the lives of elders, deacons, and other church leaders.

For the Kingdom
Ask God to bless the fellowship of local church bodies where members are challenged to “remain in Christ.” Pray for unity among such Christians in neighborhoods and communities around the world.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that your wholehearted commitment to Christ will be attractive to one unsaved person you know. Ask God to give you an opportunity to share your faith with that person.
