“Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.12Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

Lord God my Father,

Allow me to know you, remove my doubt. Help me to hear and believe, allow me to find you. Help me to move ahead without my sinful desires and allow you to have your way in all things. Restore me and use me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
