The word of God gives us a glimpse of Jesus that we cannot get any other way. The gospel gives us a unique account of the world before Jesus and a new world after his crucifixion. Studying of God's word is what transformed us from non-believers to Christians. The word gives us Jesus strength and courage, the kind of Courage and strength that allows us to love our enemies. Studying the word also build a strong relationship with Christ, and welcomes us into God's kingdom. If we want to be changed men and women we must study God's Word daily.
Lord, let us pray before we read Your word, for more zeal and understanding. Father open our hearts and minds to Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You into our daily lives. Lord, help us pray without ceasing, and help us draw near to Thee; so we may know You who made the world and everything in it, our Lord, of Heaven and Earth. Father we thank You for each new day, clothe in our right minds; give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Father, give us a strong desire for the things of the spirit, and not the things of the world. Lord, from one man You made every nation of man, that they should inhabit the whole Earth; and you determine the time set for them and the exact place where we should live. Lord, help us seek You, because You are never far from us; for in You we live, and without You we perish. So, Lord, give us eyes that see Your Word and ears that hear, and help us become the people You created to us to be, in Jesus name Amen
