Dear Lord, work in me that I will always be alert and thankful when I pray, whether alone or with others. So much depends on prayer! Don't let me be careless, or distracted, or on-and-off in my praying.

May the same be true as I immerse myself in Your Word. I praise You for inspiring this marvelous book to build us ip and set us free. How glad I am for the way it keeps me on track in my praying and my living!
May I look intently into Your Word day by day with a longing to know You better and do Your will at all times. May the spirit unfold its truth to me; may He motivate me to meditate on it and apply it to my life. Make me diligent to hear and read it often, to make notes on it, memorize it. Empower me to trust You and obey all Your commands. May Your Word be the joy and rejoicing of my heart.
Strengthen and renew me (and___ and _____through Your Word, keeping us from sin___so that time after time we may know the refreshment that comes from Your presence. Give us gracious boldness and power to share it with others, both believers and unbelievers.
I pray for Your rich blessing on Bible distribution, as well as on Bible preaching, teaching, and reading in our area---and beyond. Give special grace to those in countries where The Bible is scarce. May every child of Yours get at least a New Testament and be nourished by its truths.
