Please Lord, Help Me to See

 Dear Heavenly Father,

As I come before you today to read your Word and to hear your voice, I ask you to work in me a teachable heart.  Open my spiritual eyes of  understanding and illuminate my mind with the wisdom of your Word that I may see what you are trying to teach me in the section of Scripture I am reading.  Keep me from becoming overly familiar with any portion of your Word such that I miss the message you have for me.  Help me to see your Word with the freshness and newness of springtime. 

 Help me to see what you as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are trying to relate to me.  Help me to see more clearly my needs and my nature before you.  Teach me your will that I may do it. Help me to apply this portion of Scripture to my life situation. Help me to see the sins to avoid, the warnings to heed, the examples to follow, and the promises to claim. 

 Help me to see what you require of me and to live out those requirements in thought, word, and action.  Let me not love in word and speech, but in deed and truth.  I love you Heavenly Father, and I want to please you by doing your will.  Father, I ask you to work in my life the ability, opportunity, and the desire to share your Word with others this day.  Give me a heart eager to study your Word, a mind to understand it, and a will to obey it.  Let your Word pass through my mind, sink into my heart, and become a part of me.  Let it become real and alive in my life today.  Please Lord, help me to see.

 I thank you Heavenly Father and I pray in Jesus' precious name.

 Amen.
