*_That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity._*
Luke 8:14

*Prayer :*

I confess there were many times that my unbridled pride, selfish ambitions and sinful habits try to fill me up.

The wind blows away the pleasure like the chaff, I am left empty and alone. Sometimes times Your voice gets overlooked and I got stuck in my spiritual growth. 

Father, I ask that You deliver me from having my eyes diverted away from You. Instill a new heart within me through Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus' name, I pray.
