Lord, satisfy my soul with the richest morsels of truth tucked into the pages of Your Word. Treasure is found when sought with diligence. Scatter gems of magnificent wisdom across the fullness of my mind until they sparkle with the illumination of truth. Even the most sumptuous food doesn’t taste as good as divine counsel basted in sovereignty. My lips delight to bring praise that honors You. Joy is the tender reaction of a soul well-fed by You. Even as I take to my bed at night, a holy reflection becomes the pillow I can rest my head on. Divine lessons are imparted by nightly instruction. You are my teacher. Shield me from misperceptions and deceit. I cling to You for the truth I sorely lack. I can rest assured that when my grip falters, Yours never will. Thank You for holding onto me, Lord, when I am too battle-weary to hold onto You. Under the Word set down in James 1:4-5 and the authority of Christ, I bow in prayer.
Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:4-5, NIV
