Prayer of Origen from Ancient Christian Devotional. A Year of Weekly Readings, edited by C. Crosby, gen. ed. Thomas C. Oden. Downers Grove : IVP Books, 2009 (p. 50)
Lord, inspire us to read your Scriptures and meditate on them day and night. We beg you to give us real understanding of what we need, that we in turn may put them into practice. Yet we know that understanding and good intentions are worthless, unless rooted in your graceful love. So we ask that the words of Scripture may also be not just signs on a page but channels of grace into our hearts.
