I am just curious what ya'll are using to help you read your Bible? Are you reading it directly and then journaling? Using a guide? study?

Can you please keep my family in your prayers. My husband lost his job last week and his dad passed away unexpectedly yesterday. Just pray that there is peace over my family during this time of grief and the unknown.

I browsing through Bible studies a couple days ago and found one on Habakkuk. I have never read this book of the Bible before and decided to do so this morning. The last chapter and last few verses really caught my attention. Habakkuk lists out all these negative things happening and he says, "yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my savior." Life has been kicking me in the butt and I haven't been doing a very good job at rejoicing. This upcoming week I am working on being grateful and finding ways to rejoice in the Lord even thought life is really hard right now.
