PRAYER

Opening Scripture

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”
— 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)

The Bible is more than a collection of ancient writings. It teaches us about God, His character, His promises, and how we can live with greater faith, wisdom, love, and purpose.

As you study Scripture, don’t feel pressured to understand everything immediately. Read slowly. Ask questions. Pray about what you read. Spiritual growth is a journey.
