Abide | 6 Months in the New Testament - Daily Readings From the Bible Sample

Prayer
You’ll take a few minutes to read through today’s passages in just a moment. Before you do, start with a simple prayer like this:
“God, I invite you into this moment and ask that you open my heart to Your Word. Help me to know you deeply through it, and let your truth transform my heart, mind, and soul today.”
Once you finish your reading, take a few moments to walk through P.R.A.Y.
_________________
P - PAUSE to be still. Meditate on what you’ve just read, allowing it to sink in.
R - REFLECT on Scripture. What was God saying to you today through His Word? Speak aloud a verse to remember, and maybe even write it down.
A - ASK for God’s help. The challenge is to be with Jesus and become more like Him. How does today’s Word challenge you to do that?
Y - YIELD to His will in your life. God lovingly invites you into His beautiful plan for you, His church, and the world. Take up His invitation to live differently; understanding His plan is beyond anything we could ask or imagine.

About this Plan

Abide is a 6-month-long daily Bible reading and reflection plan focusing on the New Testament. Our hope is that this next year of studying together is marked with a hunger for God’s Word and a deeper faith with every passage read.
