Hendricks / Hendricks - Read the Bible Prayerfully (Living by the Book, Page 97)
October 19th, 2006 by Nicholas Chorba
We tend to think of Bible study and prayer as separate disciplines, but the fact is, they are integrally related. Prayer is really a key to effective Bible study. Learn to pray before, during, and after your reading of the Scriptures.
Prayer is especially crucial when you come to a place in your study where you are hung up and confused. That’s a good time to stop and carry on a conversation with God. “Lord, I can’t make any sense out of this passage. I don’t understand it. Give me insight. Help me to discover your truth.”
