Why does reading the Bible consistently matter?

Friends Laughing

Reading Scripture isn’t just something to check off of your list—God’s Word will actually transform your life.

Research shows that destructive habits decrease and positive habits increase when people are in God’s Word at least four days a week.

Someone who reads the Bible four or more times a week is:

  • – 59% less likely to view pornography
  • – 74% less likely to gamble
  • – 407% more likely to memorize Scripture
  • – 228% more likely to share their faith with others
  • – 231% more likely to disciple others

These same people are 30% less likely to struggle with loneliness.

The Bible App can help you build a consistent Bible habit, and you can keep track of your progress with Daily Streaks.

Commit to spending at least 4 days each week in God’s Word and watch how it changes your life.

A Prayer for 2024

Person praying

What are you hoping for this new year?

Maybe you want a fresh start from the pain in your past, or maybe you are coming into the new year with hope and expectancy.

As we anticipate the future, we can draw near to God—right now—through prayer.

Imagine what could happen this year if millions of us all over the world joined together to boldly pray for each other, our world, and for God’s will to be done.

As part of our global YouVersion Community, we want to invite you to pray with us.


God,

We thank You for all that You’ve done, and we look to the future with hope.

Our world is full of brokenness that only You can mend, so we pray for opportunities to boldly proclaim the hope we have in You.

We pray for believers all over the world—that they would be unified in You, loving and supporting each other.

In all things, help us to fix our hope on You this year.

Give us strength to persevere, courage to share Your good news, and peace in knowing that You are always with us.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The most meaningful gift you can give this year is God’s Word!

Friends giving gift

What’s the best gift you’ve received?

As Christmas approaches, we get to celebrate the best gift ever—the gift of Jesus.

Scripture tells us that we did nothing to earn or deserve this gift. God demonstrated generosity by freely sending Jesus to us.

But there are still people who haven’t experienced the hope that comes from reading God’s Word.

This Christmas, you have the opportunity to share the good news of Jesus by giving God’s Word to others.

When you give a gift before the end of the year, you’re helping more people get free, unlimited access to the hope of God’s Word through the Bible App.
