The SOAP Method is a great way to establish a routine in your quiet time with the Lord.
It’s a framework to help you dissect scripture, pray through it, and apply it to your everyday life.

SOAP EXAMPLE

S: Psalm 23:1-3 

O: The LORD is my protector and my guide. Because of Him and His provision, I lack nothing. He is my peace, my strength, and my rest. He doesn’t lead me astray but shows me the way to bring Him honor. 

A: I need to be reminded that He is sovereign. Like a good shepherd, He sees the whole field beyond what my eyes can see. He knows when I need to rest and be renewed. He shows me every step of the way—I only have to choose to keep following. 

P: God, thank you for being a good shepherd. Thank you for guiding me and providing me with rest. I know that when I feel weary and dry, I can come to you to lead me to a place of renewal. Thank you for never leading me astray, but keeping a watchful eye so that my every need is met. You see me. Thank you for that. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
