What devotional methods have you used in the past? Which would you like to try in the future?

[Austin]

I currently use the annual Our Daily Bread devotional.
I also use Open Heavens devotional.

[Austin]

I use ODB daily devotions, the Bible App daily devotion, and independent Bible study.

I engage in a method I learned in church, Lecto Devina.
Take a look:
Read.
Slowly and thoughtfully, read the Scripture passage the first time. What word or phrase captures your attention and grabs your heart? Linger with it whenever this happens.

Reflect.
Slowly and prayerfully, read the passage again. What is God saying to you in this passage? offering you? asking you? What feelings are arising within you?

Respond.
Slowly and prayerfully, read the passage again. Respond to God from your heart. Speak to God of your feelings and insights. Offer these to God.

Rest.
Possibly read the passage another time. Sit quietly in God’s presence, asking, “What are you saying to me?” Rest in God’s love, and listen.

As you end your prayer period, you might close with an Our Father or another short prayer. It might be helpful to jot down in a journal what arose during this time. What did you speak to God, and what did God offer you?

Bible reading, devotional books and apps

[Austin]

I have used the Daily Bread devotionals for a few years now. I have also used The Daily Walk bible to read thru the bible in a year.
I am now hoping to get a more in depth approach.
