Prayer

Jesus said, 'Do not think I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them' (Matthew 5:17).

Father, thank You for giving us Your Law through Moses—five books that reveal Your character, Your standards, and Your plan. Help me see how Jesus fulfills every word of the Torah. Give me hunger to understand what You've written. Remove any pride that resists Your instruction, and soften my heart to obey. Guard me from treating Scripture as mere history instead of God's living word to me today. In Jesus' name, Amen.
