Father God, I am grateful that the writers of Scripture acknowledged that you were the author through the work of your Holy Spirit. My spirit testifies with the Holy Spirit that these things are trustworthy and true. I stand in awe of your mercy and faithfulness. I bring my silent groaning to your mercy seat for your favor and blessing. I ask for your wisdom and discernment in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.

“And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention has to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” (2 Peter 1: 19-21 ESV)
