Gods strength to sustain me, Gods wisdom to guide me, Gods eye to look ahead for me, Gods ear to hear me, Gods word to speak for me, Gods hand to protect me, Gods way before me, Gods shield to defend me, Gods host to deliver me, from snares of devils, from evil temptations, from natures failings, from all who wish to harm me, far or near, alone and in a crowd. Amen. ~ 8th century Irish prayer To Know Gods Word Heavenly Lord, I pray to be able to read the Bible and learn your truth. Give me the spirit of understanding and wisdom, for you know how difficult it can be sometimes. Let me understand and absorb the words in your Bible, dear God, and let me see beyond the words on the page and know your true and full Word, Jesus Christ. Let me not be impatient; let my vision not be distorted by my bias, or my preconceptions, or my foolishness, or the foolishness of the world around me. Give me the courage to change my mind, when that is necessary. Let me know you as you intend for me to know you, I pray, O God; let me find my way to you, for I crave to know you and be with you, now and for all of my life, Amen. Meditation [Let my vision not be distorted by my bias.] Benediction God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, and Spirit of God amidst us, direct our way unto you. Make us to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you; to the end we may establish our hearts unblameable in holiness before you, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
