Unafraidናሙና

Reading the Bible can feel intimidating sometimes. But one simple way of studying Scripture is called S.O.A.P. It stands for "Scripture," "Observation," "Application," and "Prayer." We'll show you how—it's easy!

S: Scripture

If you haven't already, read today's passage of Scripture. Then, summarize it in your own words.

O: Observation

Read Romans 8:26–28 again.

• What stands out to you?
• What does it teach us about God's ability to understand us when we're hurting?
• What questions do you still have?

A: Application

• What's one way you're struggling to describe your pain or fears this week?
• What does this passage invite you to do differently when you feel fragile?
• When you're hurting, what can help remind you to ask God for help?

P: Prayer

Spend time in prayer, inviting God to show you the words to describe the weakness, fear, or hurt you feel. Ask for signs of hope in your journey. Then, say thank you for all the ways God is with you when you're unsure how to describe how you feel or what you need.
