10 to 15 minutes a day is enough. You don\u2019t need more\u2026 you need consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Say a short prayer:
\u201cLord, speak to me today through Your Word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t rush. Read slowly and focus on understanding, not just finishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t get frustrated. Keep going and come back to it later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlight or save the verses that speak to your heart. That\u2019s what God wants to work in you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read at the same time every day. It helps you stay consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t quit. Don\u2019t restart\u2026 just continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God is not asking you to understand the entire Bible in one day. He is inviting you to know Him step by step. And when you start in the right place, His Word stops being confusing\u2026 and becomes alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lord, guide me through Your Word. Teach me to read with understanding and with a willing heart. Help me not to give up and to find You on every page. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOrder to Read the Bible for the First Time (Beginner\u2019s Guide)<\/a><\/blockquote>
