Almighty God, whose word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, we thank you for the wisdom and truth that you reveal to us through your Holy Scriptures.

We pray that, like the psalmist, we may treasure your word, hiding it deep within our hearts. Grant us the grace to live according to your will, that we may be kept from sin and walk in righteousness, reflecting your love and truth in all that we do and say.

Strengthen us, O Lord, to overcome temptation and to live lives that honour you, that your truth may shine through us to the world. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
