Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Amen for your prayer!
Though, I’m at all convinced all who pray such a prayer and ask to obtain eyes that see, and ears that hear are indeed prepared to see what God will show, or hear what God will say, even if we do seek the messiah. This shouldn’t offend us – Paul wasn’t prepared (though his hope to serve God was undoubtably sincere) …
Still, I appreciated this prayer and would add that – may God grant us the heart and humility to receive Him rightly (on the road to Damascus), when he hears and answers our prayer; and may we respond in faith to His learning …. again in our savior Yeshua, anointed of God, and God.
