Challenge instructions
Spend about 10-15 minutes per day in the Word and Prayer.
I promise that if you commit to this habit, God will show up this Summer. I can't wait to hear about your experiences!
- Read a few sections of John's gospel (aim for 2-3 chapters per week)
- Journal about what you read. At minimum, write down 1 new thing you noticed, or 1 thought about the passage. If you have questions, write them down to ask later.
- Spend a few minutes praying and write down what you pray about. A good pattern is 1 up; 2 out. That is, 1 prayer to God about Him and 2 about something in the world. Thank God for who He is or what He's done. Then pray about things that matter to you in the world. It could be about something in your life, or a prayer for someone else.
I promise that if you commit to this habit, God will show up this Summer. I can't wait to hear about your experiences!
