3. Pray. Make this scripture personal to you by using the words to form a personal prayer.
4. Word Study. Read other scriptures that use the same word to help you better understand the depth of what you are meditating on.
- What word or phrase jumps out or resonates within me?
- Slowly read that word or phrase again, dwelling on the words and asking Holy Spirit “what do you want me to see or understand in these words today”?

Close in prayer thanking God for the time you spent with Him today, and asking His guidance, strength, and conviction to apply what He revealed to you.
- How did Holy Spirit convict you such that you need to repent and turn to God?
- What did Holy Spirit encourage you to change in your behavior or attitude?
- How is He leading you to live differently?
