How to Build a Daily Bible Reading Habit in 5 Simple Steps

If you’ve ever struggled to stick to a Bible reading routine, you’re not alone. But creating a consistent habit doesn’t have to be difficult. Whether you're new to faith or returning, here are five steps that will help you build a daily Bible reading habit that lasts.

1. Set a specific time
Consistency starts with routine. Choose a time that works best — morning, lunch break, or evening. Set a reminder if needed.

2. Start small and realistic
Begin with short passages or one verse a day. This lowers pressure and makes the habit easier to maintain.

3. Use physical or digital tools
Use a dedicated notebook, Bible app, or even a bracelet like the Daily Bible Verse Bracelet that sends a verse to your phone with a simple tap.

4. Reflect and pray
After reading, pause for reflection and a quick prayer. This deepens your spiritual connection.

5. Track your habit
Use a journal or app to track your progress. Seeing your streak can boost motivation and accountability.

Building a Bible habit isn’t about perfection — it’s about persistence. Start small, stay consistent, and let God's Word transform your daily life.
