Bible: Pray

(Part 2 of 6 posts about reading the Bible.)

Step one: pray.

We pray before we attempt to read the Bible because we need God's help to understand it and respond to it. We need Him to give us eyes that see Him and ears that hear Him.

For example, David prayed:

"Open my eyes, that I may behold
Wonderful things from Your law."
- Psalm 119:18

You might repeat his prayer, meaning each word. Or you might pray your own words. The important thing is to depend on God to help you read the Bible. And the crazy thing is: He WILL!
