Almighty Father, I pray for Your touch upon James. May he be able to prepare his heart to receive Your Word each time he reads his bible. May You block all distractions from his presence and allow the spiritual food of Your Word to dwell deep within his mind, body and soul. Illuminate the scriptures You would like him to receive as Your direction and blessing upon his life. Let his time of reading be intimate and deep, without distraction or interference. Thank You for Your many blessings upon us, and the privilege of having Your Word available for instruction in our lives. In Jesus' name, amen.
