A Sacred Space in a Busy World
In a world that moves too fast, having a quiet corner to meet with God can anchor your soul. Whether it’s a cozy chair by the window, a corner in your bedroom, or even a small nook in the kitchen, your Bible study corner becomes a sacred space — a place to pray, read, and listen.
The beauty of this practice is that it doesn’t have to be elaborate or expensive. What matters most is your heart and intention.
The Bible Study Corner
Choose a spot where you naturally feel calm — near a window, beside a bookshelf, or at your favorite chair. Add soft lighting, a throw blanket, and maybe even a candle to set the tone for peace and focus.
Essentials to include:
-
-
A comfortable chair — try this oversized reading chair that feels like a hug after a long day.
-
A side table to hold your Bible, notebook, and mug of coffee.
-
A cozy blanket like this chunky knit throw to make mornings with Scripture even sweeter.
-
A soft lamp or candle — this lamp adds the perfect warm glow for early morning study.
-
The Bible Study Basket
If space is limited, a Bible basket is your best friend. Keep everything you need for your quiet time in one place — then carry it anywhere in the house (or even outside to your porch).
What to include:
-
-
A beautiful Bible — I love the Hosanna Revival Bible for its floral, feminine design.
-
A devotional or journal, like The Daily Grace Co. journals or from Ecezatik Store.
-
Your favorite highlighters and pens — these Bible-safe gel highlighters don’t bleed through thin pages. Likewise, these pens are great as well.
-
A notebook for reflections or sermon notes — Sermon Notes Journal; Prayer Journal.
-
Bookmarks and sticky notes for marking Scripture and prayers – Sticky Note Set.
-
The War Room
Inspired by the film War Room, this space is designed specifically for prayer and spiritual battle. It can be an entire closet, a section of your office, or even a curtained corner.
Set the tone for prayer:
-
Add a prayer board or corkboard — this linen pinboard is perfect for writing down prayers, answered petitions, and Scriptures.
-
Keep a notebook of prayer requests and answered prayers to remind you of God’s faithfulness.
-
Use push pins to hang your favorite verses or photos of loved ones you’re praying for.
-
Light a scented candle, such as this amber vanilla candle, as a gentle reminder of God’s presence.
Little Touches of Grace
Add small, personal touches that make your space feel sacred:
-
-
A framed Scripture print
-
A small plant or vase of dried flowers
-
A playlist of gentle worship music
-
A handwritten note that says, “Be still and know.”
-
Why It Matters
When you create space for God in your home, you’re also creating space for Him in your heart. Your Bible study corner, basket, or war room doesn’t just hold your things — it holds your intentions. It’s a daily reminder that no matter how busy life gets, He deserves the first and best part of your day.
Closing Thoughts
Setting up your own study space is a beautiful act of worship — a way to say, “Here I am, Lord.” I’d love to see your Bible study spaces! Tag me on Instagram @WithLoveLeslieD so we can inspire one another in faith!
