God in Heaven, I come before You with a humble heart, seeking wisdom and understanding as I dive into Your Holy Word. Your Scripture is breathed out by You, profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.1 I long to be equipped for every good work, knowing that understanding Your Word is essential for this journey. You are the source of all wisdom,2 and Your Word tells me to ask You if I lack it, for You give generously.3 I ask, Father, for wisdom and insight as I study the Bible. Help me grasp its truths with both mind and heart.
Your Word gives light,4 and I pray that it would flood my soul, showing me where I need to grow and change. May Your living Word pierce my heart, discerning the thoughts and intentions within.5 Let it convict, comfort, and guide me as needed. Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.6 In a world of confusion, let it be my constant guide, providing clarity in challenges. When hardship comes, let Your Word be my foundation.
Holy Spirit, guide me into all truth7 as I study. Open my eyes to behold the wonders in Your law.8 Remove distractions and spiritual blindness and enlighten the eyes of my heart so that I may know the hope You’ve called me to.9 I recognize that the natural person cannot understand spiritual things.10 Grant me discernment, knowing that all Scripture is from You.11 Let me approach Your Word with reverence and humility, eager to learn, like the Bereans.12
May the word of Christ dwell in me richly, teaching and admonishing me in wisdom.13 As I grow, help me share these truths with others. Thank You for the wisdom and revelation in Your Word.14 In Jesus name, Amen.
