Bible Study is a sacred place for seeking the truth of God’s Word, and learning how to apply it to our everyday lives. There is a reason why community and group study are important. A reason God said we should not live this life alone. Though individual study is crucial to the development of our faith, so is small group Bible study.
This article gathers 10 short, Scripture-rooted closing prayers to end your Bible study well. Turn to these prayers when you want to ask God for blessing, wisdom, help to apply the lessons you’ve learned, remembering the truth, having a daily desire for Scripture, gratitude for fellowship, and strength in the Holy Spirit. Allow your Bible study group to go out into the world with mission and encouragement in God’s Word.
The people we gather with who do accomplish this are placed on purpose by the Lord Himself. Never accidental, every Word of Scripture and person in our lives is absolutely purposeful. The most important element of Bible study is prayer. We often pray at the beginning of our study, asking for open minds and hearts to learn and receive God’s Word. But let’s not forget the importance of book-ending our Bible study with prayer, as well.
The following 10 prayers will help your Bible study group walk away with a powerful reminder of the truth studied and the mission to carry it out into our daily lives and our communities. I pray they are a blessing to you and the people in your study. I hope they uplift your hearts and cement God’s truth in your minds.
