5. Process and method of daily devotion

For each participant:

  • About 15 minutes
  • Start by singing or listening to worship songs, praising, quiet one’s heart before God
  • Pray asking the Holy Spirit’s guidance
  • Read bible verses
  • Choose a verse that touches you, not too long
  • Mediate on the verse and think about how this verse relates to your current life and how to apply to your daily life
  • Write devotion diary and pray
  • Mediate on the verse during the day

(Note: If you miss any dates, you could use Saturday and Sunday to make up.)

6. Sharing within the family

Every day, parents and children can find 20 min to share what they get from today’s devotion. Parents could use “Discovery Bible Study Questions” to facilitate their discussion.
