Prayer is conversation with God - it includes both speaking : > and listening. Third, we are to meditate, which involves prayerful : > consideration of what we read in the Word. This means digesting a passage : > of Scripture verse by verse and asking the Lord questions about what it : > means. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will gain understanding : > of its application to life. This process helps us absorb His truths so we : > can live by them. : > : : > : As we assimilate scriptural principles, we gain wisdom. It becomes : > easier to identify where the Lord is at work and to evaluate our : > circumstances in light of His character and plan. We will also recognize : > when we are to act. As we listen to messages based on God's Word, we will : > grow in the Lord. Listening includes a desire to hear, a willingness to : > act, and a determination not to be distracted. Lastly, we should observe : > how God is working in others' lives, which will benefit us as well. : > : : > : God promises to reward our seeking. Sometimes we will be blessed with : > greater understanding, at other times with inexplicable joy. Best of all, : > seeking always leads to finding Him. (Jeremiah 29:13) : > : : > : Question: Often when we read large sections of the Bible at a time we : > may miss some important points.
