This is more of a Q and A as it is an area I am (along with a lot of other things) quite weak in. I will start off saying that the Bible is by far the method I use for daily devotionals; rather than something such as the Daily Bread (of which I still have some copies from the early 1980s when I first came to Christ). The Utmost for the Highest or something to that affect by Oswald Chambers was somethng I got to read on an overnight stay at a failed interview years ago and it was what I considered the most convicting study of that sort. i am used to KJV so that is usually what I read; and often on the cell phone right before work as my Bibles have either gotten lost under all the paperwork in my house or I have left them at church or given them away the last few years.
Small print makes it harder for me these days to read as well.
If you ask what I read in the last day or two it was Proverbs where the verse of the day has been; and I went on to the end of the book to chapter 31; then spent a bit of time in the next book Ecclesiastes today. I do everything wrong reading very fast and not spending much time although I am never very energetic in the morning. It would be better I think to spend more in depth study during the evening; which I usually reserve more for weekends. Recently not having to care for my parents which took up much of my free time until last month I have much more time especially ditching the TV.
Prayer is rather infrequent compared to what I'd like; I should find some way to overcome lack of requests on the subject and tend to pray when I feel the Spirit lead except for small group (which I was too late for obsessing on getting my taxes done tonight). I manage to get a thanks to God before every meal; but I'm not where I should be.
So maybe this study is more for me. I am going to dissect scripture readings into broad catagories and attempt that with prayer also.
Agreed. I recommended that a couple years back after stumbling on it during an overnight stay at an interview that didn't pan out at a Christian Academy in Kentucky.
