Prayerful Questions for Devotional Reading

For the Purpose of Knowing God

Reading the Bible devotionally is about spending time with God, in the Word of God, where the focus is on God. The goal is to know God deeply.

To help you focus, read smaller portions of Scripture (maybe 3-5 verses or a paragraph).

Start a journal and write the Bible reference at the top. After reading the text, pray through these questions, wait for God’s response, and write down what He shares.

Take your time in this process. The goal is not to finish every question; the goal is to engage with God (to know Him more). Read for depth, not distance.

1) Who is Jesus?
Complete this statement based on what you see in the text: Jesus is ________________. (Example: Jesus is loving, gracious, Lord, Savior, Healer, God, with us, powerful, wise, etc.)

2)  Heavenly Father, help me to know You more through Your Word.

  • How is Your heart revealed in this text? (Example: God loves people, seeks worshipers, hates sin, etc.)
  • What aspects of Your character do you want me to see? (Example: God is righteous, holy, all-knowing, ever-present, sovereign, loving, etc.)
  • How can I better understand Your mind, Your mission or Your actions in these verses? (Example: God knows everything. God’s mission is His glory. God’s ways are not our ways.)
  • Follow-Up Question: Where in my life do I need to receive these truths?

3) What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus?

  • What is Jesus teaching His disciples (through example or words)?
  • How is Jesus correcting His disciples?
  • Where is Jesus taking His disciples?
  • What were the disciples doing?
  • Follow-Up Question: Where in my life do I need to receive these truths?

4) Who am I in Christ?

5) Is there anything You’d like to say to me today?
