Praying over a friend’s Bible and the Latchkey Kid

In a beautiful display of community and faith, my small group expressed a desire to pray over a fellow member’s Bible, and suddenly a wealth of teaching and insights from over the years rose to the surface, inspiring me to share:

Father God, I praise you Lord for Your Word

Psalm 119:1 “Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭171‬-‭175‬ “Let praise flow from my lips, for you have taught me your decrees. Let my tongue sing about your word, for all your commands are right. Give me a helping hand, for I have chosen to follow your commandments. O Lord, I have longed for your rescue, and your instructions are my delight. Let me live so I can praise you, and may your regulations help me.”

Father God I desire Communion with you.  

Holy Spirit, come and highlight Your Words to me,  open the eyes of my Heart Lord.

Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭18  “Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions

Ephesians 1:18 “asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.”

Then Go with the Flow

‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭37‬-‭38‬ ‭NLT‬‬  “Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, 

Lord, as I meditate on Your word, I pray that you enlighten the eyes of my heart, highlighting the wisdom You desire me to see.  May this wisdom resonate within me and radiate outward, flowing, touching the hearts of those around me.  For Your Glory Lord!  In Jesus’ precious name we pray!  Amen!
