I’m thinking about the word “abide” this week. Our church has been working through the writings of John to start off the new year. During my reading in John 15, as it probably should, the word abide is leaping off the page. You know those moments when you read something, and you know that you know that you know there is something important going on. This is where I found my heart and mind. I’m reading it again and again, and seeing this undeniable link between abiding and bearing fruit. What I hadn’t picked up on in earlier readings is the connection to prayer.
