God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Romans 11:2
Master Gardener, you know us as seed, sprout, vine, and crop. You see our potential for bounteous harvest and our tendencies towards errancy and decay. Tend to us with a firm and gentle hand and give us the sweet waters of your guidance, so that we may blossom fully. Amen.
