Lord, I desire to be fertile ground.
Allow the Lord to create in you a clean heart, and the joy of your salvation will be restored....
He wants to remove the stony heart and give you a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26-27). God will not despise a broken and contrite heart. Receive the seeds of His Word and Spirit, what can and will you allow the Lord to plant into you?
Our hearts and minds must become fertile ground. Hide His words in your hearts, and don't allowing the devil to rob you of the seeds that have been planted within you. The Lord desires to give you life and he wants you to have it more abundantly. Becoming fertile ground allows us to become who God intends for us to be.
It's your choice what type of soil will you be.
