Thank You, Father, that by Your Spirit You caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning. Teach me I pray, by the power of Your Spirit to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest all the truths that are contained within it pages.
Develop in me a heart that delights in Your Word, a mind that retains its truth and a will that seeks to apply all the important lessons it contains.
Give me wisdom and discernment to recognise any distortions of Scripture or false teachings that I may come across, and help me not to follow a wrong path or to be swayed by any persuasive arguments, but help me always to be guided by Your Word of truth, as You have promised to all who love your Word.
Grant me courage and grace to speak out Your Word of truth to all who may cross my path today, and I pray that in Your strength I would speak Your word of truth and love. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
