Technique for you. Pick a passage that is spoken, probably the psalms, but long speeches and even prophecies work too, I think.
Now say the passage out loud as if they were your own words. Translate it into how you would say it, add related thoughts, etc.
Often we read the bible analyzing the person writing the psalm, figuring out what he was thinking, and then applying it. You can skip that! Just say it for yourself.
I opened randomly to Psalm 102 and it spoke right to me. (well, I spoke it) Not exactly what I wanted, but it helped better than many other things I could have picked.
I love how we can open the bible randomly, that childish practice, and God will answer despite. It has happened many times to me.
May God use this to minister to you.
