40 Days to a Deeper Walk with God: Life Lessons from the Bible. Let me say, it’s not the forty days that are the focus here, but rather your desire to draw closer to the Father’s heart—and to encourage your own heart in the process.

So please don’t be intimidated into thinking your forty daily readings must continue uninterrupted. It you manage to do so, wonderful! If it takes much longer than forty consecutive days, that’s fine too.

The important thing is to read each opening Scripture verse in light of the accompanying devotional, and then ask yourself how you can practically apply the message to your life. Keeping a journal as you read may be helpful.

There is a section at the end of each devotional to “make it personal.” If you will faithfully do that—at whatever pace works for you—I promise you will find your faith deepened and your heart encouraged.
