Lift Offনমুনা

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 12:1–2 again.

• What stands out to you?
• What does it teach us about how our minds and our actions are connected?
• What questions do you still have?

A: Application

• What do you need God to transform in your life?
• How can you live your life as an act of worship today?
• How do you think your understanding of God could change if you do?

P: Prayer

Spend some time in prayer about an area of your life that needs transformation. Invite God to help you break old habits or attitudes. As you pray, make a short list of the people and actions that can help you follow through on your decision.
