If I continue in it, I will become a true disciple. (John 8:31)

If I meditate on it, I will become successful. (Joshua 1:8)

If I keep it, I will be rewarded and my love perfected. (Psalm 19:7–11; 1 John 2:5)

It is the living, powerful, discerning Word of God. (Hebrews 4:12)

It is the Sword of the Spirit. (Ephesians 6:17)

It is sweeter than honey and more desirable than gold. (Psalm 19:10)

It is indestructible and forever settled in Heaven. (2 Corinthians 13:7–8; Psalm 119:89)

It is absolutely true with no mixture of error. (John 17:17; Titus 1:2)

Lord, open my eyes that I may see truth and my ears to hear truth.

Open my heart to receive it by faith.

Renew my mind to keep it in hope.

Surrender my will that I may live it with love.

Remind me that I am responsible when I hear it.

Help me desire to obey what You say through it.

Transform my life that I may know it.

Burden my heart that I may share it.

Speak now, Lord.

Give me a passion to know and follow Your will.

Nothing more. Nothing less. Nothing else.
