MATTHEW 13:19-23
19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.
The Unfocused Church Attender

PRAYER: FATHER GOD, HELP ME NOT ONLY HEAR YOUR WORD TODAY BUT TO FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING TO ME.

20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
The Former Church Attender

PRAYER: I PRAY THAT I JOYFULLY RECEIVE YOUR WORD, REFUSING TO ALLOW ANY FORM OF TRIBULATION OR PERSECUTION TO CAUSE IT NOT TO TAKE ROOT.

22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
Current Church Attender

PRAYER: I PRAY O MY FATHER THAT NO ONE OR NOTHING WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN TEMPTING OR DISTRACTING ME FROM BEARING FRUIT.

23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
