Need help focusing during Bible time π
Q: I really want to get close to God, I just don’t know where to start. π£ I try to read the Bible but can’t seem to focus or understand. I try to do study, but it’s like my mind won’t be quiet. Any advice?
A: There's s lot of chatter happening in most folk minds, esp in this fast paced new era. Starting in prayer can help quiet your mind, and prepare you for what God would like to communicate with you during that session.
You can also keep a notebook next to you to write out questions you have, and something neat you learned.
Also...a simple way to go through the Bible is using an audio Bible. Use a good app,. You can pause where you are and pick up the next time.
Biblegateway app is good. As it has LSB21 and NASB95, but also NLT if you need easier reading. But the Nasb95 audio one is good.
StudyBible.org app is also free, has tons of great study notes in it, and has an audio feature too.
*To get to the helps, faq and resources, sinply click the verse, and the resources button and it opens with lots of good helps.
If you have paid YouTube (commercial free) you can listen to this in KJV with very cool dramatizations.
The kjv does change a couple names, like Elijah they say Elias, so ne aware of that tiny thing. It can help you hear thru the Bible cover to cover a few times, before going into a reading plan. When you do, read it thru 2x cover to cover, and then start a reading plan you find. There's fun ones here and good resources for studying deeper.
God bless
