5/5/5 Bible-Reading Plan (printable)
This strategy has truly revolutionized how I spend valuable time engaging with the Word of God!
If you're prepared to transition from a lukewarm phase and wholeheartedly pursue a deeper connection with God, immersing yourself in Bible reading is an indispensable key that cannot be neglected.
If you've ever experienced frustration due to a lack of focus, easily becoming bored, or feeling distant from God while reading the Bible, know that you're not alone, and this plan is the ideal solution for you!

The 5/5/5 Method
Read for 5 minutes and highlight anything that pops out at you during that time. This is not the time to speed-read. Take time to absorb the words you’re reading.
Start the next 5 minutes off with a word of prayer, asking the Holy Spirit if there’s anything in those highlighted verses that He would like to teach you. Then reread the highlighted sections over and over. Again, taking time to absorb every word. Don’t allow yourself to get bored with this part! The Holy Spirit brought those verses to your attention for a reason. Be determined to take in everything He has for you in those moments.
The last 5 minutes will be spent writing down anything you feel you are learning or any impressions you feel about them. Don’t worry if you feel awkward at first. That’s totally normal. The practice of being led by the Holy Spirit in your reading takes just that–practice! But once you get the hang of it, you’ll find that 5 minutes just isn’t enough for you anymore.
It's simple enough to incorporate into your daily routine, yet profound enough to significantly enhance your fellowship with God.
