A 31-Day Plan for Daily Fellowship

Fellowship With God

Set ten or fifteen minutes aside each morning to begin your day with God. The purpose for this time is to help you build a personal relationship with God. The key to building this relationship is communication and spending time together so you get to know each other.  Beginning on page 29, you will find a plan that has been developed to help you get started in building your relation­ship with God.

Pray

This allows you the opportunity to talk with God. During this time you can share whatever is on your heart, both the good and the bad. God wants to become one of your best friends. There is nothing you can tell Him that He doesn’t already know, and yet He still loves you. Ask God to help you develop your relationship to Him and to make you the kind of person that He created you to be. Ask God to help you understand the things He is trying to communicate through John’s Gospel. 

Read the Word

When you  have finished your prayer, allow God the opportunity to share with you the things that are upon His heart. Everything that God wants you to know about Himself is recorded for you in the Bible. Read the selected verses for the day and ask God to give you guidance in what He wants you to know and understand. 

Things to Consider

During days 1-7 of the 31-Day Plan you will be guided in the “Things to Consider” section to look for certain truths in the text which should help you learn what God is trying to communicate to you. On day 8 you can begin recording  the major ideas you see in each selection for yourself.

Observations

This is a place for you to record or comment on things of interest to you as you read and consider the text. There is also a blank page at the end of this section for your use.

Questions

Write down things you don’t understand and ask a more mature Christian to help you find answers from the Scriptures.

Application

Is there something you learned from God which you need to apply to your life? The purpose of fellowship with God is to change your life so you become more like Jesus — not just to make you smarter. This is the key to becoming a new creation in Christ. You can record what you intend to do about what God has said to you.
