PRAYER

Lord God,

Thank You for preserving Your Word through history—through councils, through church fathers, and through the leading of Your Holy Spirit. I thank You for the 66 books of the Bible, inspired by You and trustworthy for truth and life.

When doubts come, remind me that the Bible is not man-made fiction or political invention, but a sacred collection You revealed to Your people.

Strengthen my faith as I study Scripture. Help me understand why certain books were included and others were not. Let Your Word speak life and wisdom into my heart today. Amen.
