A Prayer for Spiritual Fruitfulness

Your Daily Prayer
About this episode

Have you ever walked through a spiritual drought? When life feels dry, doubts weigh heavy, and you wonder if you’ll ever feel God’s presence again? Isaiah 58:11 reminds us that the Lord guides us continually, even in scorched places, and makes us like a well-watered garden.

Spiritual fruitfulness doesn’t come from our own striving but from surrendering to God’s leading, satisfaction, and strength. When we allow Him to guide our steps, fill our longings, and strengthen our weary bones, we will find refreshment and renewal—even in the wilderness.

In today’s episode, Jessica Van Roekel reminds us that God is our living water, bracing us in weakness and filling us with satisfaction again and again. When we rely on Him, our lives become springs of comfort to others, bearing fruit that points to His glory.


Main Takeaways

  • God guides us by turning His face toward us and leading us step by step.

  • His satisfaction is ongoing—He fills us again and again, even in dry seasons.

  • He braces us with strength when we feel like we can’t go on.

  • True fruitfulness flows from surrender to God and blesses others around us.


Bible Verse References

  • Isaiah 58:11 – God satisfies us in scorched places and makes us fruitful.

  • 1 Corinthians 10:13 – God provides a way out in temptation.

  • Psalm 1:3 – The faithful are like trees planted by streams of water.
