Abidible Pre-Study Prayer Card

Have you ever sat down and started studying your Bible only to get half way through and realize you forgot to start in prayer?Ever remembered that you wanted to pray before starting your study, but then couldn't think of what to say? Ever been at a phase in your walk with God where you didn't even know praying before opening the Bible was a good idea? Us too!

Praying before we open God's Word is a really good practice. Why? Simply because it's how we acknowledge that we know we are dependent on God for His help as we study. We need Him to open our mind to understand the Scriptures (Luke 24:45).

The prayer doesn't have to be fancy. A simple, "Help" from a sincere heart will do.

But for those of you who appreciate the extra step of praying Scripture, we have something special for you.Print this prayer as a bookmark for your Bible, or save it as an easily accessible image on your phone.

Then you'll have a reminder to pray before you start and the words you'll be praying will be God's words directly from Scripture.
