Week 1 Theme: Prayers for Personal Repentance

Read: John 15:1-11

Reflect: The old hymn’s lyrics ring so true: “O what peace we often forfeit…O what needless pain we bear.” All of us forfeit peace and bear needless pain in our lives to the extent that we do not live as God meant for us to live—that is, living tethered to Him. What things, what life goals, and what relationships are you more tethered to than God? What things are robbing you of peace and joy in this season of life? Spend time confessing and repenting of those things, and ask God to give you the wisdom and willpower to know how to live life abiding in Him.
