I have picked the five winners of the ministry kit and will post their names a below. However, I feel that if each person follows through for the next 40 days with what they wrote, every one will be a winner. Cheesy, very much so…but true. The majority of comments fell into 3 categories:
- Listening to God via his Word or his Spirit
- Talking to God on a daily basis
- Carving out time to spend with God as a family
Honestly, what would the next 40 days look like if we each did this? Many of you commented about being stay-at-home moms, having crazy schedules with kids, and wanting more time with God as a family or couple. What would you, your marriage, your family, and our churches look like if we all did these three things the next 40 days? I’ve never done this, but after reading the comments, I really would like to pray for you all:
Jesus, you see the hearts of each of these people, and know their desire for you. We long for you but like children are easily distracted and lose focus. Please focus out minds, our hearts, and our time on and for you, not only for the next 40 days, but for all our lives. Thank you for meeting us and desiring relationship more than we do, and thank you for forgiving us for getting distracted. We love you Jesus. Amen.
Thank you all for your comments. Here are the randomly chosen winners:

I am working to have an extended time of Bible study and prayer time each and every day, and also I just started volunteering at a local women’s shelter every few weeks.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this awesome study! I am the head of a women’s ministry at a large church, and we would LOVE to have this to share with our ladies!
- Shannon
Our family is stepping out in faith and I am struggling with a bunch of different emotions and fears. I want to be on my knees and in His word to put to death all off the fears and anxiety.
- Becky
I am seeking guidance. I know that God has a plan for my next step. I am determined to overcome my addiction to food. I take it one day at a time, one bite at a time and turn it over to God. God has given me the courage to share my past with others. I was always afraid to share for fear of being judged, but I know that what God has helped me to overcome can help someone.
- Andrea
I’m making more time to read my Bible but also keeping track of my prayers…remembering to thank Him for my many blessings.
- Amanda
I want to make time for scripture reading and prayer, but I want to GET UP and GET OUT. I want to be a DO-ER of the word and NOT a forgetful listener. I want to serve the widow, the fatherless, and the stranger. I want to serve Jesus!!

We have some great small group Bible studies on the topic of love and marriage from some of the best communicators – Gary Thomas, Andy Stanley, Les and Leslie Parrot, and John and Stasi Eldredge. We’ve put many of our 
Wednesday, Mark Batterson wrote about storming the gates of Hell through bold, audacious prayers. He spoke of 30+ Circle Maker groups at his church and working through it as a sermon series. Your church can do the same thing. The Circle Maker is designed as a churchwide campaign. It’s time to be on offense against the gates of Hell, and our greatest weapon is prayer.
One of my prayers for 
In his book, Blink, Malcolm Gladwell talks about choice and spaghetti sauce. He says that having too many options almost paralyzes people and inhibits their choosing, rather than making it easier. I don’t know how many types and brands of spaghetti sauce there are, but I do know that there are hundreds, if not thousands of different small group Bible study materials available.
My four year-old son has a TAG reader. This is a pen that helps him learn how to read through interactive games, stories, and spelling. Whenever you press the pen on the page, it tells you a word, reads the story, or such. One book that TAG promotes is a Tinker Bell story. The promotional copy says, “Tinker Bell learns that if she is true to herself, she can accomplish her dreams.”
