How to Structure Your Devotional Time
1. Quiet Your Heart (2-3 min)
Sit in silence. Invite God's presence. Confess any sin.
2. Read Scripture (10-15 min)
Read slowly. Use a Bible reading plan or study one book.
3. Meditate & Journal (5-10 min)
What did God say? How does it apply? Write insights.
4. Pray (5-10 min)
Adore, confess, thank, and ask (ACTS). Pray Scripture back to God.
5. Obey (All day)
Take one truth and live it out today.

Journaling Prompts

- What did it teach me about myself?

- Is there a promise to claim?
- Is there a sin to avoid?
- How will I apply this today?
Remember:
- Consistency matters more than duration

- Grace yourself on hard days—God understands
- The goal is relationship, not religious duty
