John 15:1-17. As long as the branches remain connected to the vine, fruit should be the automatic result. If anything keeps a branch from bearing fruit, the Father will bring out the pruning shears and remove it. The fruit is prayer (7) for others motivated by love (12). It brings God joy to answer that kind of prayer, and it brings us joy too (11).
LORD, give us the faithfulness to abide in you and ask things from you for others.
