What is SOAP?

S – SCRIPTURE

Physically write out the scripture you are reading whether it be one verse or a full passage.

O – OBSERVATION

What stands out to you in the scripture you’re reading? What do you see that maybe you didn’t see before? Is there a pattern or repetition in it?

A – APPLICATION

What do you think God is saying to you? How can I apply what I just read to my own personal life? What changes do I need to make? Is there an action that I need to take?

P – PRAYER

Pray God’s Word back to Him. If He has revealed something to you during this time in His Word, pray about it. Confess if He has revealed some sin that is in your life.
