Father, Please help me receive all you have for me.  Let my heart be open and ready to take delivery of all of your truths.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Application Steps:

Take a few minutes before Bible study, small group, Sunday school, or personal devotion time and ask God to prepare your heart.  Ask God to keep your thoughts focused and your mind undistracted. Take notes during the sermon and review them later.  Place important points or Bible verses on a note card and position them where you can see them frequently throughout the day.

Reflection Points: 

Are there promises are in the bible I have yet to experience?

In what areas of my life, do I need to “remove the rocks”?

How can I eliminate the “distractions” during times of worship and personal devotion?
