Another helpful tool as you read God's Word is to record what is repeated. When we read something more than once, it is always significant. The Bible we hold in our hand is God's total Word to us. It can contain only so many words, and the Spirit of God was very economy-minded. He didn't waste words.
Every word has a purpose.
And anything that is given more than once has special significance. It is also helpful to record our prayers. I've written down some of my most important prayers over the last 10 years. There are hundreds of prayer requests there. This practice helps me in several ways.
