READ a passage of Scripture.
EXAMINE the passage for greater understanding.

APPLY the passage to your life.
  • What new truths do I need to embrace?
  • What sin(s) do I need to repent of and/or avoid?
  • What command(s) do I need to obey? (How should I change my attitudes and habits?)

  • By the power of God’s Spirit, what can I do TODAY to apply God’s Word to my life?
PRAY about what you’ve read
  • Ask God to change your heart, mind, attitudes, actions, and relationships that might not be in accordance with His Word. Pray that He would show you how to share with others what you’ve learned. Consider using the P.R.A.Y. acronym.
    • PRAISE: Worship God for the Holy and awesome God He is.
    • REPENT: Confess specific sins to God and acknowledge your need of Jesus.
    • ASK: Pray that God will help you live for His glory and give courage to witness.
    • YIELD: Surrender your life to Jesus wherever and however He leads you.
