Studying the word of God is one of the easiest ways to increase your connection to the divine and these closing prayers for Bible study are a perfect way to end a session together and go forward in His grace. God gave us the Bible to teach us about Jesus and how Jesus Christ acted. As we study the scriptures, we can learn about how we ought to behave and how we ought to treat others.
If we study the good book together, we can help others come closer to God. We can also learn from the wise insight of those on the path to God with us. As you open and close your Bible study groups, if you use prayer, you can further magnify the strength of that study.
The following prayers will help you close your Bible study and carry the word of God in your heart as you go in peace for the rest of your day. You can also share a prayer to open Bible study whether you’re coming together as a group or studying by yourself.
Let us pray.
