THEME: SKILL OF LEARNING
From Scripture:
The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out. – Proverbs 18:15
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. – Proverbs 9:9
Show me Your ways, LORD, teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long. – Psalm 25:4-5
A prayer
Dear God, please increase my knowledge as I work towards bettering myself. Bless me with wisdom, intelligence, and the ability to learn quickly. If I am unable to understand a skill within a certain subject, please encourage me to seek help, work and study until I master it. Amen
