Hello Friend!
Are you ready to start a Bible reading routine but not sure where to begin?
I’ve found that spending time with God and reading my Bible are critical to my mental health, well being, and a closer walk with the Lord. I’ve been reading my Bible daily and journaling for nearly 30 years. And I’ve missed very few days during that time.
I’ve worked with hundreds of women, and many have said things like: “I want to spend time with God but I’m not sure what to do.” “What does time with God look like?” “I don’t even know where to begin.”
My daily time with God has evolved over the years. I began with Becky Tirabassi’s book “Let Prayer Change Your Life”. Her tecnique got me into a daily time of prayer, bible reading, and journaling. It was a bit cumbersome and I modified it to fit my time. But it was the catalyst that got me started, and into a really good routine.
Honestly, my daily time with God is the one thing I am most consistent with. Like I said, it is vital to my mental health. As someone who has battled depression most of my life, daily time with God and journaling has drastically changed my life.
I would love to help you spend time with God and grow in your relationship with Him. I believe the PRAISE method may work for you. A step by step way to get you started digging into God’s Word.
Here’s what the PRAISE method stands for:
P- PREPARE your heart and mind as you begin your time with the Lord
R - REVEAL Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal anything you need to address
A - ACKNOWLEDGE your dependence on the Holy Spirit
I - ILLUMINATE Ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate the scriptures
S - SEARCH the scriptures
E - EXAMINE and dig deeper into what God’s word is saying
If this looks like something you’d like to try for yourself - I’ve written my first book: Good Morning SCRIPTURE JOURNAL Using the PRAISE Method. In it, I walk you through each step in more detail, and include 60 days of 2 page journal prompts for your Bible reading time.
Daily time with God can be life-changing! It is my hope that Good Morning Scripture Journal can get you into a solid routine as you make Bible reading a part of each day.
Go through the book, try my strategy, and then make it your own. This isn’t written in stone, it is here as a tool for you to create your own style of God time. 60 days is long enough to get you into a new habit, and ample time to see what works for you and what you would like to change.
Check it out today! Now available on Amazon.
Watch for upcoming versions: I have one for Men, Boys, and Girls coming soon. Everyone should be spending daily time with God. Let’s help them do that!!
I’d love to hear what your time with God looks like. Please comment below, I’m always looking for ways to update my devotional time.
