They Don’t Want You to Know This (God Will Ignite Your Hunger for His Word)

What if the very thing standing between you and a deeper relationship with God isn’t your schedule, your energy, or your ability to understand—but your hunger for His Word? In this powerful prayer, we ask the Lord to awaken an unshakable desire to read the Bible daily, to hear His voice clearly, and to walk closely with Him.
Too often, we allow life’s noise and distractions to keep us from the one thing that truly transforms our hearts—the living Word of God. But today can be the turning point. In this prayer, you’ll be led into God’s presence, reminded of His promises, and stirred to seek His truth like never before.
We’ll pray for:
• A daily hunger for Scripture that nothing can quench
• The ability to hear and recognize the voice of the Shepherd
• Strength to overcome distractions and excuses
• A heart transformed through time spent in God’s truth
• Peace, guidance, and spiritual growth rooted in His Word
This prayer is not just about reading the Bible—it’s about letting it read YOU, transform YOU, and draw YOU closer to the heart of God.
Whether you’ve struggled to stay consistent or have never truly developed a passion for Scripture, this prayer will encourage, challenge, and inspire you to fall in love with God’s Word again.
