When I get up in the morning the Lord usually has a Christian song or hymn playing in my mind which goes with where I am reading in scripture for that day. So, I read the lyrics to the song, and then I read in the Bible right where I left off reading the day before. I read book by book and chapter by chapter. I pray and I ask him to speak his words to my heart and to teach me what he wants me to learn from his word. I pray for any requests which are on my heart at that time, too. As I read the passage I pray through what I have read, thanking and praising the Lord, praying for understanding, sometimes crying when what I read touches my heart in some way, and sometimes voicing my requests to him concerning what I am reading and how it might apply to my life or the lives of those I love. Then, I begin to write out what he teaches me as he speaks to me through the passage. When I am finished writing what he has taught me, I post it on the internet for the encouragement of others. Then, as I go throughout my day I talk with him and he talks with me about life, love, attitudes, actions, etc. I continue in prayer for people throughout the day and for guidance, wisdom, and direction, etc. Sometimes later in the day he will speak with me again through a song and I will read the Bible and he has something personal for me which is usually in answer to a prayer or in response to something which is heavy on my heart, and so he encourages and strengthens me through these times.
