Read
Read a complete paragraph or chapter slowly. If possible, read it again in another edition.
Notice
List people, repeated words, questions, commands and connections. Keep observations distinct from your conclusions.
Understand
Consider the speaker, original audience, literary setting and what comes before and after. Write down uncertainties and consult responsible sources.
Respond
Name a practical response and a prayer. A passage might call for gratitude, repentance, patience, action or further learning. The study workspace keeps these notes on your device.
