Dear Sovereign Father,
I long to be a man of the Book
To unpack its profound meaning
My prayer is to get lost in Your richness
To fill the hole that is in my soul
To read Your Words and let them linger
To see Your Holiness in each passage
To stop and be struck by Your unfailing Truth
To have my heart be Gripped by your Grace
To prepare each thought under the Holy Spirit's illumination
To make sure that I am percise all my preparation
To cogitate over the meaning of the passage
Never to miss the context, the text and the application
To preach each week with boldness, graciousness and truthfulness
To realize that the Words in the text set people free from bondage
The Words in the text open their eyes to their true state
To show them in the text Your unmeasurable grace
To show Jesus in the text and that He is the meaning of the text
To show them that Jesus is more than enough for this life and the next
