A Prayer Before Bible Study (/prayer/a-prayer-before-bible-
study-1549)
Loving Lord and heavenly Father, how I thank You for The holy Scriptures and the
truth within its pages. Thank You for the opportunity to spend time in Your Word
and I pray that You would prepare my heart for this time of Bible study.

Help me to set my mind on things above and not on earthly things. Keep away all
that would distract me from Your word and develop in me a teachable spirit and
ears that listen to Your still small voice - and I pray that the eyes of my heart be
open to see all that You want to teach me.

I pray that I may study to show myself approved unto God. Give me insight and
understanding as I read and reflect on Your Word and may I mature in the faith,
grow in grace and come to a deeper knowledge of my Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ through this time of Bible study – this I ask in Jesus name,

Amen

me with a quite focus and calm tranquillity within my soul. Guard my mind and

not happen.. instead of keeping the eyes of my heart focussed upon Jesus and
my ears ever open to His leading and guidance.

unchangeable character and ask that in Your grace You would strengthen my

Spirit.

Let my mind be fixed on Jesus and when wrong thoughts or foolish doubt enter
my heart – I pray that I would take that thought captive and banish that doubt
from my mind as I look to Christ and rest in the unfailing promise of His sufficient
grace.

Lord when I am tempted to sin I pray that I may quickly look to You and away
from the temptation – and should I sin Lord, I pray that I would immediately fly

You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all

the morning; as I rest at night and throughout the business of every passing day.

To keep focused on God Prayed for 61 time. I PRAYED FOR THIS

Dear Lord, I pray to  keep focused on the Lord and forgiveness- not on the insult
inflicted and the resulting hurts. I pray I remember that the Lord is the Ultimate
Judge and in Him I lay my family. May the Lord's will be done. In Jesus' name, I
declare that peace and faith will consume my thoughts. By His Stripes my family is
healed. I also pray that my husband lets go of his anger and strife. Amen and Amen
