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 2 Timothy 1:7–10 again.

• What stands out to you?
• What does it teach us about facing our fears?
• What questions do you still have?

A: Application

• What's one way you're struggling to be bold this week?
• What does this passage invite you to view as the source of courage?
• How would your life look different if you had the boldness to face your current fears?

P: Prayer

Spend some time in prayer about a situation where you need courage. Ask for help trusting God with your circumstances, and consider how God's power, love, and self-discipline could help. Then, say thank you for all the ways God is with you when you feel timid.
