Step 1: Pray and Prepare
Invite the Holy Spirit into your time, asking Him to teach you and speak to your heart. Turn over anything that may be distracting you.
Before starting the next step, take a few minutes to prepare. Read over the notes you took yesterday to refresh your memory on the Psalms.
Step 2: Observe
Read Psalm 25 multiple times for comprehension. Write down what you observe and any questions that come up as you read.
Step 3: Seek Out
Now read other translations, commentaries, or study Bible notes to check your work from Step 2, gain further insight into the passage, and answer any remaining questions you have.
