Inspired by God and Useful to Teach Us



All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

—2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT)


God of Truth,


Thank You for the Holy Scriptures—words of truth—which were inspired by You and written for us, so that we—Your people—would be prepared and equipped to do every good work.


Draw us to the Scriptures so we can learn what is true and come to realize what is wrong in our lives—as the life by which You breathed the Scriptures breathes life into our spirits, through Your Holy Spirit.

Humble us so we will be receptive and responsive when Your Word corrects us—teachable and willingly obedient as You help us learn to do what is right.

Grant that we would become thoroughly prepared and equipped to do every good work that You have planned for us to do—having been made full of Truth and Grace, and abounding in Your love for all.


Thank You for the Holy Scriptures—words of truth—which were inspired by You and written for us, so that we—Your people—would be prepared and equipped to do every good work.


In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
