Reading the Bible can feel intimidating sometimes. But one simple way of studying Scripture is called S.O.A.P. It stands for "Scripture," "Observation," "Application," and "Prayer." We'll show you how—it's easy!
S: Scripture
If you haven't already, read today's passage of Scripture. Then summarize it in your own words.
O: Observation
Read 2 Corinthians 1:20–22 again.
- What does it teach us about God's promises?
- How does the passage describe God's works?
- What questions do you still have?
A: Application
What's one of God's promises you feel uncertain about being fulfilled in your life? What about it makes you hesitate?
How can you celebrate what God is doing even when the outcome isn't what you desired or imagined?
What would it look like for you to feel confident in God's promises?
P: Prayer
Spend some time in prayer about one of God's promises you're waiting to see come to pass. Talk to God about any uncertainties you have about that promise, and take time to worship, knowing that God's promises are true even when we doubt.

About this Plan
When life feels dark—like nothing is going right and nothing ever will—it’s easy to feel lost and hopeless. But just like the sun, moon, and stars light up the darkest sky, God’s light shines in our lives even in the hardest moments because God’s presence carries us, no matter what we face. For the next 28 days, we’ll explore how God meets us in our pain and brings light to guide us through. We’ll learn that even when we lose hope, God is closer than we know.
