Suggested Prayer As We Study God’s Word

Adapted from The Bible Recap

God, give me wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Let any knowledge I gain serve to help me love You and others more, and not puff me up. Help me see something new about You I’ve never seen before. Correct any lies I believe about You or anything I misunderstand. Direct my steps according to Your Word. In Christ's name I pray. Amen!
