But as for the seed that fell on rich soil, they are the ones who have heard the word, embrace it with a generous and good heart, and bear fruit through perseverance.
(Luke 8:13)

Lord, prepare me to hear and absorb your word. Even if the devil snatches it away from me as the birds snatch the seed from the path, it will not be lost. Birds actually help to spread the seeds, and the devil, against his will, works for you as well.

You can dig up the rocks that encumber my soul and strangle the word. Open me so that I am not distracted by worldly concerns.

Please, Lord, give me a “generous and good heart,” and let me welcome your will. Only in you can it be productive. Take my soul, till it, weed it, nourish it, and then harvest what is yours.
