Bible study is a powerful tool for personal growth and spiritual development, but it is not complete without the presence of prayer. Opening and closing prayers can help to set the tone for a productive and meaningful study, and they can help to bring the group together in a spirit of unity and reverence.
Here some example prayer for opening and closing bible study.
