It can help to resist the urge to read through all twenty verses in Bible Verses About Heaven in one sitting. Scripture written centuries apart, in different circumstances, by different authors, tends to reward slower reading.

Others treat it as a starting point for prayer, reading one verse and then praying it back to God in their own words. Neither approach is more correct than the other; what matters is that the verse actually gets read, not just located.
