HAVE a place and time

• Time:

• Place:

ENTER God’s presence.

• Take a moment to relax, take a breath.
• Open with a simple prayer like, “Lord, hear my prayer.”

LISTEN to the word of God

• Listen, don’t just read it with your eyes.
• Listen by reading slowly out loud, more than once.
• Follow a reading plan:
  • Our Daily Bread
  • Bible Gateway Reading Plans
  • Study Bible
  • _______________________

PRAY

• Following the Lord’s Prayer – “A Model Prayer”
• Responding to today’s reading
• Keep a prayer list.
