Scripture Prayers for The Week

"Blessed are You, O Lord;

Teach me Your statutes.

With my lips I have told of

All the ordinances of Your mouth.

I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,

As much as in all riches.

I will meditate on Your precepts

And regard Your ways.

I shall delight in Your statutes;

I shall not forget Your word.

Deal bountifully with Your servant,

That I may live and keep Your word.

Open my eyes, that I may behold

Wonderful things from Your law.

I am a stranger in the earth;

Do not hide Your commandments from me.

My soul is crushed with longing

After Your ordinances at all times."

- Psalm 119:12-20 -

One of God's greatest blessings is the gift of His Word. This week our Scripture Prayer leads in asking for deeper understanding of the Bible and for a sincere love for all that it speaks to us.

ADULT PRAYER: "Blessed Lord, open my eyes to see wonderful things in Your Word. I am a pilgrim here on earth. How I need a map - and Your commands are my guide. I will meditate upon them and give them my full respect. I will delight in them and not forget them. In Jesus' Name I offer this prayer, amen."

CHILDREN'S PRAYER: "Dear God, I want to understand the things You have written in the Bible. It is Your love letter to me. In it, You tell me how to act and what to say. I will think about Your words and make them part of my life because I love You. In Jesus' name, amen."
