Mark 4:30-32 NIV
"Again, he said, 'What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.'"
"Father in Heaven, thank you that you always hear my prayers. I want to be blessed by you, Father. I long to be prosperous and to flourish… not for my name’s sake but for yours. I also know that you bless the righteous and condemn evil, so help me to be honest in my evaluations of myself and those around me. Lord, grant me the courage to remove myself from relationships that are destructive to my walk with you and surround me with godly influences who will grow my knowledge and understanding of your ways, that I might produce the fruit you created me to produce. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
