Open my ears, God, to hear Your voice speaking to me from Scripture today. I don’t want to just settle for easy answers. I don’t want to just read the Bible in a way that makes me feel good. I want to give You continual, constant permission to interrupt and rearrange my life.
Give me passion as I read to take seriously the truth of what I am reading. Help me resist the temptation to put Your words into my head without letting them change my heart and my actions. I confess that knowledge about You isn’t enough. I need a life transformation. Please show me how the Scripture I’m reading is meant to transform the way I inhabit my world. Amen and amen!
