Certainly! Here are several Ellen White quotes about how to study the Bible, each with a reference so you can explore further: 1. Reverence and Prayerful Study: "We should come with reverence to the study of the Bible, feeling that we are in the presence of God. All lightness and trifling should be laid aside. While some portions of the word are easily understood, the true meaning of other parts is not so readily discerned. There must be patient study and meditation, and earnest prayer. Every student, as he opens the Scriptures, should ask for the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, and the promise is sure, that it will be given." (Gospel Workers 1892, p. 127.2) 2. Verse-by-Verse Method: "In daily study the verse-by-verse method is often most helpful. Let the student take one verse, and concentrate the mind on ascertaining the thought that God has put into that verse for him, and then dwell upon the thought until it becomes his own. One passage thus studied until its significance is clear is of more value than the perusal of many chapters with no definite purpose in view and no positive instruction gained." (Education, p. 189.4) 3. The Bible as a Daily Guide: "A daily study of the Scriptures has a sanctifying, uplifting influence upon the mind. Bind the Holy Volume to your hearts. It will prove to you a friend and guide in perplexity." (Counsels to Teachers, p. 138) 4. Humility and Teachability: "We should exert all the powers of the mind in the study of the Scriptures... yet we must not forget that the docility and submission of a child is the true spirit of the learner... We must come with a humble and teachable spirit to obtain knowledge from the great I AM." (Testimonies on Sabbath School Work, p. 121) 5. Diligent and Patient Searching: "The Bible requires thought and prayerful research. It is not enough to skim over the surface. While some passages are too plain to be misunderstood, others are more intricate, demanding careful and patient study. Like the precious metal concealed in the hills and mountains, its gems of truth are to be searched out and stored in the mind for future use." (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 4, p. 498.3) 6. Make the Bible Your Counselor: "Make the Bible the man of your counsel. Your acquaintance with it will grow rapidly if you keep your minds free from the rubbish of the world. The more the Bible is studied, the deeper will be your knowledge of God." (Counsels to Teachers, p. 484.1) 7. Practice What You Learn: "He who will study the Bible with a humble and teachable spirit will find it a sure guide, pointing out the way of life with unfailing accuracy. But what does your study of the Bible avail, brethren and sisters, unless you practice the truths it teaches?" (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 303.2) 8. Systematic Family Study: "Observe system in the study of the Scriptures in your families... Make the Bible its own expositor, bringing together all that is said concerning a given subject at different times and under varied circumstances." (Testimonies on Sabbath School Work, p. 11.2) 9. Meditate and Memorize: "But there is but little benefit derived from a hasty reading of the Scriptures. One may read the whole Bible through and yet fail to see its beauty or comprehend its deep and hidden meaning. One passage studied until its significance is clear to the mind and its relation to the plan of salvation is evident, is of more value than the perusal of many chapters with no definite purpose in view and no positive instruction gained. Keep your Bible with you. As you have opportunity, read it; fix the texts in your memory. Even while you are walking the streets you may read a passage and meditate upon it, thus fixing it in the mind." (Steps to Christ, p. 90.2) These quotes highlight the importance of reverence, prayer, humility, diligence, meditation, and practical application in Bible study.

Here are some key thoughts from Ellen White on the question, "What can I do?"—with practical and spiritual applications: 1. You can rally, work, and shake off indifference. Engage in home duties, help your family, and read your Bible as never before. Even small efforts, increased daily, will help both mind and body. (2T 325.1) 2. Every one of us can do something for God and others. Every effort to enlighten others brings you closer to God. (MC 9.2) 3. You can do for yourself what no one else can do for you. The will is at fault, not the power. (2T 326.1) 4. Ask yourself: “How can I best glorify God and help others with the knowledge and opportunities I have?” Open your Bible and teach others, especially those in need. (9T 200.1) 5. Yield yourself to Christ. He alone can redeem and strengthen you. Choose to serve Him, and you will find happiness and success. (2T 564.4) 6. When facing temptation, claim God’s promise: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (3T 45.2) 7. God has a work for you. Take up your cross, pray for souls, and work for Him. You can reach people that others cannot. (1T 513.1) 8. Ask yourself: Are you seeking to be a blessing to others? Are you putting forth efforts to win others to Christ? (9T 39.2) 9. Trust God and wait patiently to know His will. Yield yourself to Him with childlike trust. (1T 45.2) 10. We can do nothing of ourselves, but by relying on Christ, we can do His will. (SJ 101.4) 11. Begin to act on the light God has given you, even if gradually. Exercise and practical duties will strengthen you. (3T 76.1) 12. Every self-denial and sacrifice for God is faithfully recorded and will bring its reward. (2SG 129.2) 13. Seek wise counsel and consider your plans carefully. (8T 190.3) 14. Women (and all) can do much for themselves by sensible exercise and self-care. (MH 293.4) In summary: You can do much by starting with small, faithful actions—helping at home, seeking to bless others, praying, studying the Bible, and trusting in Christ for strength. God calls you to act, serve, and grow, and He will help you as you move forward.
