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.
