Abiding in God's Vine Archives - Page 8 of 11 - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Unceasing Prayer

Unceasing prayer means victory
For then we truly lean
Not on our strength and wisdom
But heavenly power, unseen.

So, trust Him in all
Seek God, through His Word
Delight in His presence
Obey daily what’s heard.

For our Father, the vine-dresser
Is pruning, discarding
As branches, of His vine
For more fruit…keep abiding.

Since nothing, is too hard
For our great God, to fulfill
Trusting fully in God
Keep obeying His will.

Not our knowledge, our ‘leaves’
Our sin, we can’t cover
For God sees our hearts
Any sweet fruit, to discover?

Yes, receive of God’s blessing
First surrender each part
Not the best of our flesh
First, our will and our heart.

Do you seek to withdraw
To that innermost place?
There, we step aside
Meet the God of all grace.

In God’s Vine, keep abiding
As His branch, bearing fruit
Stay dependent, keep praying
Christ-likeness, your pursuit.

Take me deeper, dear Lord
Beyond feelings and thought
Come fill with Your Spirit
To live, as I ought.

So, our God allows trials
That our faith be tenacious
Great faith, be made complete
To be perfected, need patience.
