Short Prayer After Reading the Bible

Prayer After Reading the Bible-Catholic

Lord, thank you for the gift of Your Word

so that all your people may know and love You more

and understand You better.

As I go about my day may I not forget

the scriptures you have opened up for me.

Help me to recognize how You want for me

to apply Your Word to my daily life.

Holy Spirit, guided by Your Word,

may You enlighten my mind

and enkindle in my heart

a greater love for You and for others

in my family and in the world.

Amen.
