I am the Vine; You are the Branches

The True Vine, The Vinedresser, and the True Branch

Psalm 119:67 NASB95

Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word.

Psalm 119:71 NASB95

It is good for me that I was afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes.

But suffering is merely the handle of the Father’s knife; the Blade is the Word f God. —John MacArthur

Jesus Commands Believers to Depend on Him.

Disciples, Who Depend on Jesus, Rely on His Word.

When the Word Goes in Prayer Flows out.

Abiding in Jesus’ Love Produces unending Joy

The Purpose of Prayer and Pruning is that We Love and Live Like Jesus.
