Almighty God of Heaven and of Earth, there is no one like you who goes out for your beloved. Thank you for the Scriptures. Thank you for the scribes who devoted their lives to copying the writings. Thank you for those who canonized and printed the Bible. Thank you for those who distributed it. Thank you for those who taught me Scripture. Thank you for the Holy Spirit who interprets Scripture and leads me in the right way. Thank you that I have instant access to your Word at any time. There is no lack of availability to you in my day. I pray that we learn more of you through our studying in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
 
“Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.” (1 Samuel 3:1 ESV)
