Before you read God's word each day, seek His help with these five prayers:

1. God, give me wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.

2. God, let any knowledge I gain serve to help me love You and others more and not puff me up.

3. God, help me see something new about You I've never seen before.

4. God, correct any lies I believe about You or anything I misunderstand

5. God, direct my steps according to your word.
