Phase 2 of 6
Read, consider, respond
Choose a Scripture passage and consider how it speaks to daily life.
Read the selected passage slowly and consider who is speaking and to whom. What does it invite you to practice? Bring both your questions and your trust into prayer, without treating a verse as a formula for a particular outcome.
"And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."
— Mark 11:22-23
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
— Isaiah 55:11
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
— Romans 10:17
God, help me read Scripture with patience and understanding. Let what I learn shape my decisions and the way I treat my neighbors.
