Reading God's Word

You do not have to read the Bible front to back. Start with one of the accounts of Jesus' life (John is a good first choice) and read a little, slowly.

Read

Psalm 119:105KJV

Verse 105. NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Read it in context

If you want to read on

2 Timothy 3:16–17
Psalm 1:1–3

Think about this

What makes opening the Bible feel difficult?

Pray

God, speak to me through what I read, even when I do not understand all of it.

These are words to start from, not words you have to use.

Continue in prayer
