The Word Of The Lord
Father, I come before you in Jesus name.
Open my heart to receive your word in all its fullness,
Thank you for the bible through which you have disclosed so much of yourself.
Teach my heart to love your written word, not as a means to make myself “spiritual” in the eyes of men, but as a way to draw closer to your heart, to become your friend.
Amen
