How to Study the Bible When You Only Have 10 Minutes

Short on time? You can still connect with God’s Word. Here’s a simple way to study the Bible in just 10 minutes a day.

Hey ladybird,
Between work, family, and trying to keep the house from looking like a tornado hit, finding time for Bible study can feel impossible. But you don’t need hours—just 10 minutes and a willing heart. Here’s my go-to method: Pick one verse, read it twice, ask one question, and pray.

For example, try Matthew 11:28. Read it slowly. Ask, “What does Jesus mean by ‘rest’ here?” Then pray what comes to mind. It’s like a quick coffee date with Jesus—short, sweet, and soul-filling.

Try This: Set a timer for 10 minutes. Read Matthew 11:28–30. Jot down one thought it sparks, then pray it back to God.
