BIBLE STUDY THAT BRINGS PEACE
📖 Bible Study for Beginners: Your October Journal Prompts & Pray • Read • Reflect Page
The Problem We All Face
The bills pile up. Relationships feel strained. The holidays loom ahead. Before you know it, that familiar knot forms in your stomach, and worry takes over.
It's so easy to slip into control mode, but when we do, our thoughts start to spiral, and anxiety takes center stage. We try to handle everything on our own: the finances, the relationships, the uncertain future, the holidays coming faster than we'd like.
God offers us a different way.
Instead of holding everything tight, He calls us to seek Him first (Matthew 6:33). When we open our Bibles, pause to pray, and quiet our hearts, something shifts; fear loses its grip, and peace steps in.
This is why our October theme is simple but powerful:
Bible Study That Brings Peace
This month, we're slowing down, opening God's Word, and letting it re-center our anxious hearts before the rush of the holiday season.
🪞Why Bible Study Matters for Your Peace
Bible study and journaling aren't just "nice" spiritual habits, they are anchors.
When life feels too heavy, the Word of God keeps us from being tossed around by every worry, fear, or negative thought.
Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
If you're walking through uncertainty, this is the light you need. And when you pair Bible reading with reflection and prayer, it helps filter everything you think, say, and do through God's truth, not through fear.
☀️My Morning Anchor
I've discovered something powerful about starting each day with Bible study: it anchors my entire day in God's direction and will for me. Before I check my phone, before I dive into the day's demands, I spend time in His Word.
This practice has become more crucial than ever. We're constantly bombarded with messages from social media, news, and culture that can pull us away from biblical truth. When I start my morning grounded in Scripture, I'm better equipped to recognize and resist the unbiblical ideas thrown at us from every direction.
It's not just about having a good day; it's about staying rooted in God's truth so I can discern His voice above all the noise.
🌅 Start with God First
This month, I encourage you to begin your day with God before anything else, before the phone, before the news, before the to-do list.
Here’s a simple rhythm that helps:
Pray: Ask God to speak and calm your thoughts.
Read: Open your Bible and read the verse or passage for the day.
Reflect: Write down what God is showing you and how you want to respond.
When you do this first thing in the morning, it sets the tone for the rest of your day and everything that follows runs through the filter of God’s truth.

🌸 Calming Tip of the Day
Calming Tip of the Day:
Calm your thoughts before the day begins. Keep your Bible and journal in a spot where you’ll see them first thing in the morning. Even five minutes of prayer + scripture will settle your heart before the rush of the day.

💬 Closing Encouragement
Friend, worry is not your portion. God is in control, and He is inviting you to trade your anxious thoughts for His peace.
Let October be the month you build a steady rhythm of seeking Him first. As you open your Bible, journal your thoughts, and pray through each day's verse, you'll find your mind becoming calmer, not because life is perfect, but because your heart is fixed on the One who holds it all together.
In a world full of competing voices and confusing messages, God's Word remains your reliable anchor. Start tomorrow morning. Your peace is waiting.
