Starting tomorrow, there will officially be 28 days left of December! 🎄

Join us tomorrow as we read the entire book of Matthew in 28 days. As we close out this year, challenge yourself with other believers around the world to take your level with Christ to a higher level. Challenge yourself to be consistent in reading the word daily to finish the year strong. 💕

For the chapters that are longer, we’ve broken the chapter into two parts that you may enjoy reading Part 1 in the morning and Part 2 in the evening.

Prayer for This Challenge

Dear Father,

I thank you for Your word. I pray as I begin this challenge, You would equip me daily with Your strength to endure and be consistent. I pray this challenge changes my relationship with You greatly. I pray I get to know You on a deeper level than I’ve ever been. I pray I hear from You in a special way that strengthens our bond. I pray I gain a deeper understanding of Your love and the essence of Your goodness. May I fall in love with Your word and absorb Your wisdom. I pray for myself and the people on this challenge with me as we honor You; and get to know you deeper through this study.

Amen.
