Happy July! I truly can’t believe it’s July already! I’m so excited about this month’s Little Bible Plan theme—prayer.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been seeing a lot of spiritual warfare around me lately. Chaos, divisions, anger. In times like these, we need to RUN to God in prayer. He is the answer. He is the Author of peace, unity and love. And there is power in the name of Jesus!
With that in mind, this month’s Little Bible Plan is all about running to Jesus through Bible study and prayer. We’re going to be praying through the Psalms—and I can’t think of many things as powerful as praying Scripture! If you’ve never heard of this before, praying Scripture is basically reading a passage and praying it to God in your own words. I love how Bible Gateway puts it:
While many tend to think of prayer and Bible reading as separate spiritual practices (e.g., first pray, then read the Bible), they can be even more powerful when combined into one practice of “praying Scripture.”
And also:
This can mean either praying the prayers of the Bible word-for-word as your own prayers, personalizing portions of the Scriptures in prayer, or praying through various topics of the Bible.
I don’t do this very often, so I literally can’t WAIT for this! You’ll also find little prayer request ideas each day—many of them go along with the Psalm you’ll be reading. Here are some of them:
- a closer relationship with Jesus
- anything I’m struggling with today
- to give my fear and anxiety to the Lord
- for peace, joy and strength
If you’re fighting a spiritual battle right now, I hope this plan is a blessing to you! I’m so excited to see how God works in your life as you pray through the Psalms. Because God’s Word is alive and powerful, and praying the words of Scripture back to Him is life-changing!

I am really grateful for you and for how consistent you are with the Little Bible Plan, God has used you to help me grow in my study of the Word, and I’m really grateful.
Agh I love the Psalms! These Bible plans are such a blessing, I’ve been using them for…I think 3 years now? So excited to dig in to this months reading! 😁 God Bless!
