My Commitment to Read the Bible



My Commitment to Read the Bible

I ___________________ commit to read the Bible every day. I read the Bible to get to know God – how He speaks, how He thinks, what He loves, etc.

When I read, I will pray for God to teach me

and I will look for verses He wants to use to

teach me, change me, and encourage me.

If I don’t want to read, I will pray,

“Jesus, please give me desire for your Word,”

and then I will read and expect Him to speak.

When I find a verse that God is using to speak

to me, I will thank Him, obey, and remember.

(A good way to remember is to write down

the lessons you’re learning in a notebook)

Good Bible Reading Principles: P-R-O-W-A-P-T

PRAY – First, ask God to teach to you.

READ – Read from the Bible.

OBSERVE – What part stuck out to you?

WONDER – Do you have questions?

Ask God your questions.

APPLY – Apply the lessons you learned to your life.

PRAY – Thank God for His Word and for anything

He taught you or used to encourage you.

TELL – If you learned something cool, tell a friend!

A Prayer from the Bible about Reading the Bible

“How can a young man keep his way pure?

By living according to Your word.

I seek You with all my heart, God;

Do not let me stray from Your commands.

I have hidden Your word in my heart

that I might not sin against You.

Praise be to You, O Lord;

Teach me Your decrees.

With my lips, I recount all the laws that

come from Your mouth.

I rejoice in following Your statutes

as one rejoices in great riches.

I meditate on Your precepts

and consider Your ways.

I delight in Your decrees;

I will not neglect Your word.”

- Psalm 119:9-16
