Prayer for the Day

Almighty one, Help us to prepare for the way of the Lord. For we are not worthy to carry your sandals, yet somehow you always remember us, thank you. Help us to bear fruit worthy of repentance, prepare our hearts and look away from ourselves and turn our attention towards you. Amen.

Question

What kind of “trees” are in your life, are no longer bearing fruit and need to be removed, and what kind of “harvest” have you been neglecting to gather?
