5 Ways to Help Your Teen Develop Good Bible Study HabitsSample

Focus on consistency

Any personal trainer will tell you that consistency is better than intensity. If you want to get in shape, it is better to run one mile six days a week than six miles once a month.

Consistency is key with Bible study too. Even if you can’t do it every day, build a habit by starting small with something you can accomplish. Expect to miss days, even weeks, but always jump back in, remembering that something is better than nothing. Reading our Bibles, no matter how regularly, creates spiritual deposits. When we face difficulty, feel lost, or need encouragement, our time spent in God’s Word will add up.

Even if your teen can only focus on reading their Bible for five minutes twice a week, help them feel successful with their habit by praising and encouraging consistency.
