Have you ever seen a picture of a tree that is growing out of a crack in a solid looking stone cliff face?
I guess you call it perseverance.
Love and blessings

Are you???, if you say, that you are the sead that..., well its hard for my self to believed that such a thing can happen, and, been my self a growing so call sead, to your understanding, I will say yes you do need some help..., basically the kind of help that only the person that have this problem can find it self a solution to his own problem with or with-out the help of the sead owner, a/o the original farmer in charge of planting the sead. In which case if you are a believer, (and I should said also) a true Chriastian asking a legitimate question, which I dout?...., Onlt God can help, although you can pray, to HIM(god), because if you fell, from the pouch of a farmer, God is the only one who can trace you generic make-up, as well that reverse the time to find the original spot were you should have been planted. Though if you fell do to your original desires, potentials a/o capabilities...., then you are part of what were the negatives energies, that will follow Satan to take advantage of what the substanvces of matter's, will offert to God, for HIM, to achuieved the creation of the material World. In which case you better begin to read the Bible and find out that there is only one way to salvation, and that is through Jesus Christ, and also pray to the Father that if so, true, your falling was do to the irresponsibility of the Hypotetical Farmer, God will guide you to Jesus...., though lol, you should consider before you question God, about your situation, and made someone else responsible for what could be your own fall, that God is a busy man. So, you better think, if was your own desition to fall into a rocky area, or the farmers fault, a/o the farmers own evil desires to put you there. Also you should consider this, I am not lowering my self. " before you know what the Nut have inside you need to crack the shell"

Mat 13:20,21 "But he that recived the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended."
If you truely want to grow in the Word, then you did not fall upon the stoney ground. You're the one who landed on the stoney ground if you like what the Bible says, but not enough to persue it when it gets hard.

And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
(Mark 4:16-17)
False convert. Evangelized without the use of God's law to prepare the soil. Probably told something like "You have a God-shaped hole in your heart, and if you come to Jesus, he'll give you love, peace, healing, riches, TRUE happiness...etc, etc."
These people spring up quickly but are scorched by the heat of the sun (trials).
True repenters are the good ground for the seed.

On stoney ground you can't, but if your stoney heart softens then there's a chance you will be picked up by a passing animal or bird and deposited in fertile soil.

You can roll yourself to the ground and grow there.There is always solutions for things.If you find yourself in a wrong place and not getting far then try to figure out the way out sometimes the answer will be under your nose all the time u just have to look carefully and slowly you will find it at the end.

You can grow because the wind blew you onto a piece of grassy banking, it rained heavily and you got soaked into the grown, your roots were established and out you came, a healthy seed is as much about the healthy soil it grows in.

Your roots came out and wandered around. I've seen trees growing on tops of bare rocks and out the sides. Takes a pretty strong-willed seed to do this. They're just doing their job. I also believe it has something to do with the moisture content at the time.

That is a parable which the Bible tells of to indicate that there will be in this world, 3 types of people:
1. people whose hearts were receptive to God's teachings (seed that fell on fertile soil)
2. people whose hearts are open to God's word, but who asks so many (irrelevant) questions that they side-track themselves, or get side-tracked by others who discredit their belief and convince them it doesnt truly exist. They then go over to the side where everything seems fine until a crisis happens, and they can no longer call out to God because they've chosen to let arrogance and self-righteousness take the place of God in their 2-faced hearts. (seed that fell on a well-trodden path)
3. people whose hearts are so hardened (seeds that fell on stone) by their own way of deciding what's wrong and right, that they leave no room to consider they might be wrong in rejecting God. they even try to convince others that God's way is insane.
Now, the Bible furthermore says that God gave us hearts of flesh, so that we all have a chance to receive God's love in abundance. Like with anything that is truly good and pure and wholesome, it takes time to reap the fruits of God's love. When you plant an olive tree, it doesnt bear anything until 80years thereafter!!! (soirry, i just had to choose this example cause i love olives so much, yum!!!) well, thank goodness we dont have to wait 80 years to see Blessings of love when we try to show love to our fellow human beings. generally, if u give love, to anybody, not necessarily romantic love, but if u give u generally get it back, and in that way, the world moves with love, not wiht money, or power or corruption, but with Love.

I can't believe I'm dignifying this with an answer...
If you ARE the seed that fell on stony ground then you will "sprout up quickly then wither to dust without roots to keep you...."
Read the book Mr. Vlad.
