Based on Matthew 13:1-9
Save my soul, Good Gardener
Evil flies in wanting to steal my hope
Work piles up, insecure boulders ready to crash, leaving no room to root
My faith begins to wither as does our relationship
Distractions grow, choking my gratitude
my perspective
my spirit
Guard me
Guide me
Deliver me
Clear the land
Weed then seed
Nourish the soil of my soul
I long to blossom and bring forth your fruit, a hundred fold

Looking forward to using this prayer in my message on Sunday at our church. As a gardener myself this prayer really resonated with my spirit, thanks so much for sharing.
