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 Psalm 23:1–6 again.
- What stands out to you?
- What does it teach us about God's response to our overwhelmed moments?
- What questions do you still have?
A: Application
- What's an area of your life that feels like too much right now?
- When you feel stress or discouragement about it, what does this passage invite you to do differently?
- What do you think could change in the situation if you do?
P: Prayer
Spend some time in prayer about a way in which you feel overwhelmed. Pray for God to renew your sense of God's presence, reassuring you that you are not alone. Then, take time to reflect on the peace God can give, even when we feel like things are too much.

About this Plan
In video games, when you face challenges and make mistakes there's always the option to start over. In real life, it's not so easy to recover, but Jesus gives us a chance to restart — no matter how difficult our circumstances. In this 4-week devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll look at people who needed God's help to give them a restart and discover how to trust God's promises.
