For the Pursuit of Knowledge

All-Knowing God,
There is so much to learn about the world and everything in it. You give us curious minds and a desire to know more. Nevertheless, since so much information can so easily be secured through technology in an instant, and with so little effort, the joy and eagerness to pursue knowledge is threatened. Even thinking itself can be carried out on our behalf by smart technology. Guard us from mental laziness. Make our minds sharp and enable us to think critically on our own. Do not allow our own sloth to seek shortcuts over opportunities to grow and learn. Keep us enthusiastic about the goal of learning just for the sake of gaining knowledge and understanding. Lead us to be quick to acknowledge and thank you for our growth, and bless our efforts so that we glorify you in the process.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Reflect on Christmas

Savior God,
During this week of Christmas, provide extra time for reflection. Prompt believers to pause and pray, to set aside time in the midst of the busyness to get lost in the wonder of Christmas and its significance. Lead Christians to slow down and soak in their salvation and all of the rich realities that accompany it. 

Move unbelievers to ponder as well. Whether they are indifferent, uncertain, curious, skeptical, or even averse to Christianity, intervene in their lives as you see fit, to coax them to contemplate the account of Christmas. As they reflect on it, raise up questions and concerns in their hearts that drive them to desire answers. Leave their hearts unsettled until they search your Scriptures, and then through the power of your mighty Word, let the Spirit stir their souls and lead them to faith and the assurance of their salvation.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
