Day 232. How should you “inwardly digest” Scripture? (2025)

Today is day 232 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Scripture.

232. How should you “inwardly digest” Scripture?

I should meditate on Scripture and let it shape my thoughts and prayers. As I absorb Scripture, it deepens my knowledge of God, becomes the lens through which I understand my life and the world around me, and guides my attitudes and actions. (Joshua 1:1–9; Psalms 1:2; 119:1–8, 113–28; John 15:1–11; Colossians 3:16–17)

We will conclude today with Prayer 74. For Desiring God found on page 668 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
