Bible Reading and Prayer

Bible Reading and Prayer

We believe that it’s important to spend time daily in prayer and in God’s Word and we want to help you do that. Below you will find several Bible Reading Plans and some opportunities to join with the Lakewood community in Prayer.

Lakewood Bible Reading Plans

2026 Bible Reading Plan

Our 2026 Bible Reading Plan is designed to help you prepare for each Sunday’s sermon. We’ll read the full passage on Mondays and Fridays, and walk through smaller sections on the days in between.

Sign up for daily text reminders from Lakewood with a link to a reading from the Bible for each day. Texts come at 6:15 AM Monday through Friday.

Read through the Bible in one year

1-Year Bible Reading Plan

These 1-year reading plans require serious commitment to make it through. If the thought of reading through the entire Bible in 1 year is a goal for you, then make this the year! There are MANY 1-Year Bible reading resources to chose from so, we are not creating our own plan, but we are including some options here for you to consider. These are all through the YouVersion Bible app that you can download to your smart device (*Special Note: Through the YouVersion app you can select a specific Bible translation to read, invite friends to read along with you, and keep track of what you have read):

3 Year Bible Reading Plan

3-Year Bible Reading Plan

This plan involves more daily reading that the Truth ’22 Bible Reading Plan. This 3-year Bible reading plan has a chapter from the Old Testament, a chapter from the New Testament, and a Psalm each day, 5 days per week. Every year for 3 years you will read all the way through the New Testament and Psalms, and in 3 years time you will make it through the entire Old Testament. As an ADDED BONUS, Dr. John Morrison has arranged the Old Testament readings in Chronological order to help you keep track of the timeline in the Old Testament. The long-range commitment will be worth it if you are ready for a bit more reading every day.

“The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops” (James 5:16-18).
