Prayerfully, you have been successful these
past 40 days. You should have consistency
in your life by now. God is faithful in honoring your efforts and blessing you
as you continue this effort.
To Continue
to Grow…
Again, increase your purposeful time by 5
minutes for the morning and evening sessions.
Secondly, if you have not told your family the quiet place you are using for your quiet time, tell them. A nice way to do it is to say… “When you see me here, please know this is my quiet time with the Lord. I kindly ask not to be disturbed during this time.” Your family will honor this. If you want to, you can invite them to share the time with you.
Lastly, never lose sight of your why—this
sacred time is about becoming more consistent in meeting with God, drawing near
to Him daily, and letting that relationship shape everything else in your life.
During these 40 days, give your heart permission to show up—read the verses, pray through them, and write them out by hand. You do not have to go deep right now. Let the Word settle. After you write, take a moment to journal a few honest thoughts—what stood out, how you feel, or even what you do not yet understand. This is about creating space, not pressure. God will meet you in the rhythm.
The Process
In the Morning
Start with this affirmation…
I am growing deeper in my walk with God,
and each day of faithful devotion strengthens my G.A.M.E. time. (Click here forthe graphic for this affirmation.)
Read the Pocket Prayer:
Read the scripture.
Pray the prayer.
Write out the verse (you can write it on a
sticky note and place it in your journal, or you can write it directly in your
journal).
(Remember… we are solidifying our routine
of spending time with God so that it becomes a part of who we are)
At Night
Start with this affirmation…
My time with God is becoming a steady
rhythm in my life, and as I grow, it strengthens me daily. (Click here for thegraphic for this affirmation.)
Read the Pocket Prayer:
Listen to Psalm 1 on this YouTube
video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF6c2IloNlo
Write your prayer of thanks on the same
page as today’s scripture.
This is your time to reflect and give God
glory for the growth you are seeing.
Example:
Lord, thank You for helping me show up
today. Thank You for reminding me that Jesus sees me and cares for me. I am
growing, and I am grateful. My G.A.M.E. Time with You is becoming a part of my
daily life, and I thank You for that.

“Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous
things from Your law.”

You are growing now. There is no need to rush or put pressure on yourself. Just keep showing up. Keep going. Keep building the rhythm. Let God meet you right where you are.
Even on the slow days, trust that your faithfulness is not wasted—God is still working, and He will finish what He started in you:
“Being confident of this very thing, that
He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
Philippians 1:6 (MEV)
