Setting Up a Daily Study Routine
Beginning with Your Bonus Pages
(pgs. 68-74) are designed to help you to start seeing and hearing from God each day. They only take a minute or two to complete. Then you can move into completing one page in your study.
Help to Start a Study Routine
Choose a time of day.
Schedule an minimum amount of time. Ex. 15 minutes.
Pick a place that is comfortable & somewhat free from distractions.
What helps you focus? Music, Craft supplies, the outdoors etc...
Have everything ready to go in one place so you don't have to spend a lot of time gathering things when you are ready to spend time with God.
You don't need to be rigid about your routine, but it is helpful to try to be consistent. Life happens, causing you to miss a day here and there. But if you find yourself rarely getting to your time with God, maybe you should try something else.
Examples can help you get started. Watch...

Practical Steps to help you in your time with God
Worship music can be helpful to get your heart and mind set on God.
If you're having a hard time getting settled take a few moments to unload, using the pages in the back. Hand off your distractions to Jesus.
Examples: stress, hurt, friendship issues, family, stuff, anger, or other things that are creeping into your thoughts.
Take deep slow breaths. Be intentional about trying to connect with the peace and love of God.
Holy Spirit will be a great help with this.
Relax and invite him to fill with light.
Take a few moments to answer the reflection question in the weekly bonus page.
Then complete one page of the Bible Study.
You will be surprised how much you get done when consistently take a few minutes each day.
