Prayer For Fruitfulness
Oh Father God, we pray for fruitfulness
That from our efforts we can see effectiveness
Oh Lord Jesus, we ask to reap the rewards of our labors
That we enjoy the harvests of our endeavors
Oh Holy Spirit, we beg for productivity
That on our works we can gain fertility
This we implore to our Lord God. Amen.

*Gideons Prayer Poems for Christian Virtues
I
She said, "I had no time for death:
Why did Creation give me lungs - two?"
I wonder about immortality, do you?
Yet I ponder, how quickly we wish for death
At 122, we outlive family, stare at lying TV?
II
I have died a hundred times
Without folly or courage to take my life
Do thoughts of suicide come with strife?
I am afraid I respect what Scripture chimes::
Dying by your hands is self-righteous as lying Judas
III
Dying, a seed, brings fructifying life
Living, we haunt fame or perpetual strife
Jesus always has an answer
Be it Covid-19, SARS, TB, or cancer
His cross: surrender to death in life; Revive To Survive
God blessed both of Adam kind
with fruitfulness of children.
Now counted millions lead in death,
through troubled thoughts for Adam mind,
not counted blessings born to bless,
but snuffed before first blessing’s breath.
We tender that special moment that was well earned, spent in our fabled youth's labyrinth passages beholden to young hearts locked in eternal time for e'er so oft consequent the key of memories call. It beckons me now in subsequent years of a pensive soul tryst with thyself. Loneliness fades grasped by natures blooming redolences proffering counsel to evaporate my soul resplendent aspiration to utterance, awakening welcomed birds to flight and favor a dusky crown bejeweled with distant stars flickering arousal as a moon in its laborious mood o'er guiding men to sort out words of worn-out paper neatly tucked away neath backseats of a row vehicles parked on a hillside crowded lane. A cooled engine warms my car as I leave behind a season of mist and mellow fruitfulness.

“Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” By John Keats
Amazing spiritual fruitfulness* awaits as we abide always in God
Being fervently prayerful, delighting in His presence…
Compassionately having a heart for His work…
Diligently laboring for His kingdom…
Exercising faith earnestly by the Holy Spirit’s empowerment
Faithfully following His leadership
Giving generously to ministry-endeavours
Helping others with goodness’ blessings
Inspiring and influencing by the grace of His might
Joyously sharing the Gospel.
*Colossians 1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.

I walk through the orchard
Fruit abounds
The smell of fruitfulness surrounds
I am encouraged with your abundance
I want to sing
I want to dance
For you have supplied my ever need
My need is YOU LORD
You are the Lover of my soul
You are the embrace my heart desires
You are sweetness to my lips
You are the Kiss of dawn that makes my eyes shine
you are the stars that make my eyes twinkle
You are the light of day and the moon at night
That lightens my way and makes my load light
You are the oil of my Joy
You are my souls steadfast love fulfilling all I need
And soon you will come for your bride
And we shall be - ONE
