I know that sometimes it is hard to study the Bible. There seems to be so much in the Bible and it can be overwhelming. Never fear, I have some tips and some links to help you in your time of study. One of the things I suggest is to set aside time to study something in God's word often. Put it on your calendar and stick to it. For some people you need to find a quiet place to do this. I like to go to a lake once in a while and sit in a chair as I read and pray. As you open the Bible, begin to pray and ask that God would open you eyes and your mind to see and understand what his word is speaking to you. Then as you come across words that are unfamilar, look them up in the dictionary. There are online dictionaries if you don't have one at home. Really try to understand each word and how they all fit together. Ask questions about the passage. Re-read it several times. Think about how you can apply something from it to your life. As you put your Bible away, ask that God would use that passage in your life, that he would make it real to you.
