A prayer before reading the Bible

04 November 2026 · 1 min read · Bibliou

Opening the Bible without saying anything often becomes automatic reading. A ten-second sentence changes the pace.

Four short verses will do:

  • Psalm 119:18 — Open my eyes, that I may see wonderful things in your law.
  • Luke 18:38 — Jesus, have mercy on me.
  • James 1:22 — Make me a doer of the word.
  • Luke 24:45 — Open my mind.

Say one, slowly, before reading. In Bibliou you type “prayer before” and receive one of these.
