Jesus, to embrace Your teaching is life-transforming but to deafen our ear to Your words keeps us ever searching and never finding life-long answers to that which matters most. May we hunger and thirst for Your righteousness. Help us to apply Your wisdom to our lives and instruct those You’ve entrusted to our care to walk in Your ways. Our foundation will be unshakable and storm-proof as You build our lives based upon Your eternal truths. Amen.
