HOW TO EFFECTIVELY RUN YOUR PERSONAL DEVOTION TIME
Plan a time of the day best for you.
1. ASK GOD FOR HELP: Begin with a short prayer, greet God as you would a special friend. Ask Him to help you understand what He wants to say to you. “Open thou mine eyes, that may behold wondrous things out of thy law” Psalm 119: 18
2. LET GOD TALK TO YOU: Open your Bible to the Bible text for the day. Ask yourself the following question.
A. What do these verses mean?
B. What does God want me to learn from them?
C. Is there anything new here for me to learn about God?
D. Does the scriptures mention something God needs Me to stop doing.
Memorize you memory verse for the week.

Thank God for the good things He has done for you.
Share your day with God.
Tell God the things you are happy about.
