Invite God to join you in your reading. Ask Him for wisdom.
If there is anything in your spirit hindering you, confess it now.

Ask Him to help you embrace that truth to live it out.

9th strategy.
Read and summarize each verse into as few
words as you can. Goal 1 or 2 words.

• Begin by asking Jesus to cleanse your heart to hear what He has for you to hear.
• Read the passage completely.
• After reading through the first time, go back and read the first verse in the passage.
• Then try to narrow the focus of the verse down to one or two words.
• Write those words down either on a piece of paper, or on your text messages on your phone.
• Read the 2nd verse and do the same thing.
• Complete all the verses in the passage.
• Sign and date the page in your journal, or send the text message to yourself.
• Review these words throughout the day.
• Thank Jesus for the words that He gave you to bring you closer to Him through this day.

7. Light is sweet; how pleasant to see a new day dawning.

8. When people live to be very old, let them rejoice in every day of life. But let them also remember there will be many dark days. Everything still to come is meaningless.

9. Young people, it's wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do.
10. So refuse to worry and keep your body healthy, but remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless.
Ecclesiastes 11:7-10 NLT
