21 Draw Near Scriptures is our gift to you to inspire deep reflection and remind you to keep clinging to our great and mighty God.
We all make the mistake at times of getting too busy being busy.
True right?
We forget that our main purpose is to seek and serve Him.
Instead, we shamefully but honestly, give God the scraps of our day.
We squeeze Him in.
Let us repent and purpose to start our days off in thanksgiving and praise.
Let us dedicate our whole day to constant worship as well, taking pockets of time to intentionally thank Him and seek out His direction.
How To Use These 21 Draw Near Scriptures
You can do whatever you like with these verses of course.
21 is a nice number for 3 weeks of intentional scripture meditation.
We recommend journaling them out using any bible study method you like.
One simple way is to just write each verse down and pen a prayer, praying the very scripture back to God. Just personalize it.
And let your prayer flow too if you would like. He sure will.
Or, just purpose to read a verse a day for 21 days and sit quietly, listening for what God wants to say to you about it. Then end your quiet time with prayer.
Bottom line…we are not limited.
