Bible Reading Plan

The Gospels in 40 Days

Every relationship is built on communication. The same is true of our relationship with God; it requires regular communication to grow. The best way to establish and maintain a personal relationship with God is to have a plan. This reading plan will take you through the four Gospels in 40 days. You’ll read a few chapters each day.

Getting Started

Start by setting aside a specific time (15 minutes to 30 minutes) and place each day. Sit down, take a few deep breaths, and start by asking God to give you focus, clarity, and to remove any distractions. Before you begin reading your Bible, pause, reflect, prepare your heart, and ask God to reveal himself to you. Lastly, grab your Bible, a pen or highlighter, and something to write on. As you read, try Highlighting your favorite verse(s), Explaining what happened in the text, Applying it to your life, and Responding in prayer. This is known as the H.E.A.R. method

H

Highlight

your notebook and pen to both explain the passage and write down the main idea in your own words.
