For Everyone to Keep Seeking Him

Light of the World,
This week of Epiphany, we reflect on the wise men who journeyed to worship the Savior. With so few details revealed about their travels, we can only imagine the kinds of sacrifices they made to seek out Jesus. Lead us to follow their example continually, never tiring of seeking him, no matter how well we feel we may already know him. Let us be willing to make whatever sacrifices are necessary to keep seeking him. In the process, deepen our understanding, elevate our faith, and solidify our trust. By whatever means you see fit, compel the lost to seek him, too, that they might find the light of their salvation and their eternal hope and joy. Reward all who seek you with the peace that only you can provide. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Wisdom

Lord God,
Grant me wisdom. Each day is filled with countless decisions. While some of them are weightier than others, I want to make good decisions in all areas of life. I can acquire knowledge through books and research, but knowledge requires wisdom to apply it. The world has its own ideas about wisdom, but I desire the wisdom provided by your Spirit and guided by your Word. Enable me to walk wisely in step with your Spirit. Enlighten me through your Scriptures to acquire a wisdom like Solomon, and let the blessing of that wisdom stretch out to reach others, too. May my every use of wisdom reflect any and all glory and honor back to you.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Keep on Learning

God of all Wisdom,
Give me the humility to keep on learning. When I feel overconfident in my own knowledge and am arrogant regarding my intellect, humble me. Show me how little I truly know and how much I have to learn. 

In our world today, we are surrounded by unlimited information, virtually all of which is accessible in one way or another via the technology we carry around in our pockets. Give me discernment about what to learn, for there is no shortage of useless information, and not all learning edifies and builds up. 

Fill me with childlike wonder over the pursuit of knowledge. And, as I learn, let there be for me no greater joy in the pursuit of knowledge than that which is truly the beginning of wisdom: the fear of the Lord. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Love Learning

Omniscient God,
You know all things and are filled with knowledge that far surpasses even the brightest and most brilliant minds of human beings. But even though we will never attain your level of knowledge, you have created us with minds that are able to learn and discover so much. Work in us the desire to be life-long learners. You have provided us with more ways than ever to pursue greater knowledge and understanding. May we take advantage of books, documentaries, websites, podcasts, and so many other sources of knowledge available to us. Increase our knowledge through these resources. Lead us to a greater love of learning, so that our knowledge might serve others, while also honoring you.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
