Grow
Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
Pray
Father, I was once far off — a stranger outside the family — and by the blood of Christ you brought me near and gave me a place in your own household. Thank you that I belong, and that the wall is down.
