 ```Jeremiah 29:11‭-‬13 NKJV
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.```
 
COMMENTARY
Great bible study meeting either personal or group is always accompanied with prayer. Prayer is understand to be a communication with God. Humans were authors of bible books but inspired by God through the Holy Spirit. Words passed through the Holy bible are proceeded from God and requires prayers to God whose Holy Spirit is also needed for accurate understanding and interpretation thereof.

Bible is the mind of God and doesn't require any private interpretation. Many people interpret bible the way it will suit them but this attitude doesn't benefit either as it makes people imbalance. Develop lifestyle of reading the bible, hymns, listening attentively. Sometimes God could speak back even through an inanimate object or a mad man. God responds to us in most unexpected forms and time. The time you expect Him is not usually the time He responds.

Do you find yourself frustrated in prayer because you don’t feel like God hears or answers you? Let me give you the advice my pastor gave me: lower your threshold. Most people think that hearing from God is a miraculous, life-altering event. In reality, God and the Holy Spirit are speaking to you every day (and even multiple times per day!). Lowering your threshold means (1) expecting God will speak to you and (2) actively looking for small ways in which He does. You don’t need a burning bush experience to encounter God; sometimes the right song on the radio can accomplish the same thing.

Food for thought:
Bible study is a moment we want God to speak through His written words to us. We must make it as distraction free as possible._

Prayer:
```Father help me to overcome lukewarmness towards my Bible studies in Jesus name.```
