When I Didn't Know What to Do
With God's Word
How a simple method changed the way I read my Bible.
I love the Bible. But there were seasons when I'd open it, read a passage, and just sit there — not sure what to do next.
I'd read the words. I'd feel something. And then I'd close my Bible and go on with my day, carrying a vague sense that I was supposed to get more out of it than I did.
Maybe you know that feeling too. You're not disconnected from God — you just feel like something is missing between reading the Word and actually living it.
That's what led me to create the W.O.R.D. Method Journal.
The Method
It started with a simple question: what if I had a framework that helped me slow down, go deeper, and carry the Word with me past the quiet time?
The W.O.R.D. method is four steps. Each letter is a prompt that moves you from reading to reflection to prayer — and finally, to declaration.
Write
As you read the passage, write down the verse or verses that speak to you the most. Let the Spirit highlight what He wants you to carry.
Observation
What truth can you learn about God here? What are His instructions, commands, warnings, promises, and the overall message of the passage?
Relevance
How is this passage relevant and applicable to your life today? This is where the Word moves from ancient text to living truth.
Declaration
Pray and declare the Scripture over your life, your family, your home, and your relationships. Speak it out. Own it as yours.
Four steps. One passage. And somehow, this simple rhythm changed everything about how I show up to my quiet time.
Why I Made This Into a Journal
I'm a pen-and-paper person. There's something about writing things down that makes them real to me — like I'm not just reading truth, I'm receiving it.
So I designed this journal in a way that walks you through the W.O.R.D. method one page at a time. It's not complicated. It's not overwhelming. It's just you, your Bible, and a little structure to help you go deeper.
It's a 22-page PDF journal you can print out or use digitally on any PDF reader app. It also comes with an instruction guide so you know exactly how to use the method — especially if this is your first time Bible journaling.
I didn't make this journal because I had everything figured out. I made it because I needed it — and I thought maybe someone else did too.
If your quiet time has felt a little dry, a little routine, or a little disconnected lately — this is for you.
The W.O.R.D. Method Devotional Journal is now available on Gumroad.
Download it, print it, and start meeting God in His Word — one page at a time.
Lord, let Your Word not just pass through us — let it take root.
Give us hearts that linger, minds that seek, and mouths that declare
what You have already spoken over our lives.
May every quiet moment with You be one we carry through the rest of the day.
Amen.
With love and a full heart,
