Dear God, I come before you with a humble heart, acknowledging that every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. I submit myself to your Word, knowing that it is the ultimate source of truth and guidance for my life. I claim the promise that your Word will equip me for every good work and help me to live a life that is pleasing to you. May your Word be a lamp to my feet and a light to my path, guiding me in all that I do. Thank you for the gift of your Word, and may I always treasure it and seek to live by its teachings. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
