A prayer before reading bible

Bible, prayer, Jesus, God, Christianity

Also,

“Help me along the way to find what I need in the Scriptures.”

Thank you for your mercies anew.

“That will by no means clear the guilty.” Numbers 14:18

Help me see Christ in all that I read.

An honest approach.

Help me look forward to the time I get to spend with you.

I will delight in the Lord for he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

See it as necessary,

Help me remember it is my daily bread, and help me know we live not by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matt 4:4 Satiate my hunger for your word. And Give me a hunger for your word: To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God

Psalm 42:1

Help me see where I’m flawed and try to help myself as well as others in the sanctification process.

And help me, guide me. Shape me, mold me.

Make me find life within these pages as your word declares.

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like" (James 1:23-24)

Help me follow the spirit of truth, seeing all that’s written in the Bible as absolute truth.

Your word says faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Romans 10:17 Help me put on my armor (Ephesians 6:11-18)and

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”Ephesians 6:16

good doctrine: Ephesians 4:14 "that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine"

Make it my main goal: getting to know you.

Let me be good soil, apply it to my life, reverence the Bible, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, help me value my time with you, learning from everything I read

Position my heart rightly toward you, O God

Listening to the Holy Spirit as I read

Eyes to see, and ears to hear

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man. The things which God has prepared for those who love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9

Viewing it as the inerrant and infallible word.

Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness: that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
