This past Sunday I shared with our community a prayer that I wrote concerning the essential relationship between hearing God's voice and the Bible.  We prayerfully read it together at the end of my sermon.  I have heard from several people that it was very meaningful to them.  Perhaps you could take a moment to pray it as well!

God, please impart a passionate love and appreciation for the gift of the Holy Scriptures.  Excite my soul with the knowledge that the Bible is indeed the supernatural Word of God that reveals the reality of who you are and the mysteries of your Kingdom.  Increase my hunger for your Word, and grace me with discipline and an urgency to intentionally get your Word within me.  And cause me to be a person you can count on to obey and apply the Word you speak to me.  Amen!
