Seven Steps to a Spirit-Led Quiet Time

1) Pray. "Lord, open my eyes to wondrous things from your Word."
2) Read. Select a relatively short passage to read. Read it aloud.
3) Identify the Teaching. What is God's Word saying in simple terms?
4) Ask, "What can I thank God and praise God for from this teaching?
5) Ask, "What do I need to confess to God from this teaching? (Where am I lacking?)
6) Ask, "What shall I ask God for to conform me to this teaching?
7) Apply. What steps am I going to take to apply this teaching?
