thank You for Your Word and for this chapter, which reminds me of Your faithfulness and Your guidance in the lives of Your people. Thank You for the wisdom and favor that You bestowed upon Ezra as he sought to teach Your laws and lead Your people.
Help me to also seek Your wisdom and guidance in all that I do. May I be diligent in studying Your Word and obedient to Your commands just as Ezra was. Grant me the strength and courage to stand firm in my faith, to be a light in this world, and to carry out Your will in my life.
I pray that You would grant me favor in the eyes of those I interact with, just as You did for Ezra. May I be a blessing to others and may Your hand be upon me as I seek to live a life that is pleasing to You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
