Dear Lord,

You have given us Your word,

from which we may learn and gain wisdom.

May we digest that word today, embracing it,

and ever holding on to the blessed hope it delivers.

For with You all things are possible.

Even when we feel inadequate, You are filling us

with the skills and tools needed to accomplish Your will.

Lord, in a world full of obstacles,

open our eyes to what we can do for Your glory.

In Jesus’ holy name.

Amen.
