For the Blessings of Books and Reading
Good Lord,
Thank you for the blessings of books, literature, and technology that makes the written word accessible in so many ways and forms. As our society becomes more and more visual and video-based, the benefits of reading are being lost. Too many are illiterate or struggle to read. Provide teachers, tutors, and technology to help all who are in need learn to read.
It has also been said that leaders are readers. Move men everywhere to trade in their gaming consoles and screens for books more frequently. Edify and equip them through the words and wisdom of others, and direct them to put their knowledge into practice. Bless others through their learning and application. Foster in them a love for reading that naturally flows into time in your Word, where you provide the richest blessings of all.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
