Theme: “Planted for Purpose”

Key Scripture: Jeremiah 17:7-8 – “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord… For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters…”

Weekly Devotion Themes and Prayers

Week 1 – Trusting the Process

Devotion: Even when we don’t see the outcome, God is working behind the scenes. Trusting Him during the silent seasons produces spiritual roots.

Prayer Focus: “Lord, help me to trust You fully even when I don’t understand. Strengthen my faith during the waiting.”

Week 2 – Growing Through the Word

Devotion: The Word of God is our spiritual fertilizer. Reading it daily renews our minds and transforms our lives.

Prayer Focus: “Lord, make me hungry for Your Word. Let it take root in me and produce fruit that glorifies You.”

Week 3 – Pruning for Purpose

Devotion: Sometimes God removes things or people to prepare us for greater purpose. Pruning is painful, but it makes room for growth.

Prayer Focus: “God, prune me with love. Cut away anything that hinders my purpose, and give me peace in the process.”

Week 4 – Blooming Where You’re Planted

Devotion: God has placed you where you are for a reason. Be faithful in your current assignment, and watch Him use you.

Prayer Focus: “Father, help me to serve with joy right where I am. Let me be a light in my home, church, and community.”
