SUNDAY: BREAKFAST


Sunday is a really important day in the 40 days of Relentless.  It is a day we set aside to come together for worship, encouragement and to share what’s been going on during the week with fellow believers.  The author of Hebrews reminds us of this truth:

“Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.  And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”  Hebrews 10:23-25 (NLT)

Nothing is more important than taking this time to refresh ourselves so make sure not to miss worship this morning.  Today would also be a great time to reconnect with your prayer partner.  It’s also a great day to share your stories at facebook.com/40Relentless. 

REFRESH YOURSELF! REFUEL YOUR SOUL!

DAY 03: PAY HOMAGE

REFRESH:

Read: Genesis 4:1-15

Relate: What does this passage say about God? How does this apply to my life?

Respond: Take a moment and write your thoughts to God.

REVEAL:

As we think back to when we decided to follow Jesus there is often a person that played a huge role in helping us make that decision – a parent, a pastor, or even a friend. 

Today you are to write a note or call the person who influenced you to become a follower of Jesus.  Let them know how thankful you are for them.  If you can’t connect with that person then connect with the person who has most recently influenced your life.

Take some time today and write down your story of how you became a follower of Jesus Christ. Talk about how your life was before you met Jesus, how you met Jesus and what your life has been like since you met Jesus.  Be ready to share your story over the next 40 days!

REFLECT:

How was your day? Who did you pay homage to? What did you learn?

DAY 02: BLITZ YOUR ADMINISTRATOR


REFRESH:

Read: Genesis 3

Relate: What does this passage say about God? How does this apply to my life?

Respond: Take a moment and write your thoughts to God.

REVEAL:

Ephesians 4:29 challenges us to encourage those around us with
words that build others up.  Today you are challenged to write your
administrator (or boss) a note of appreciation. 

It’s not easy being an administrator of a school and it is often a “thankless” job.  So your mission is to handwrite a “Thank You” note
and deliver it to your administrator in person!

Remember to be honest and sincere.  Don’t be fake!  If you know your administrator you may want to go as far as asking them if you can pray for them. 

If you don’t go to school or work then write a note to someone of
importance to you.

REFLECT:

How was your day? How did it go? What did you learn?

PS: Don't forget to post your stories on Facebook at www.facebook.com/40relentless

DAY 01: PRAYER WALK

REFRESH:

Read: Genesis 1-2

Relate: What does this passage say about God? How does this apply to my life?

Respond: Take a moment and write your thoughts to God.

REVEAL:

Just like God promised Joshua that He would give him every place he set his foot (Joshua 1:3,7) He will do the same for you. 

Spend time today praying for your peers, teachers, administrators and neighbors as you walk around your campus and neighborhood. 

Stop at different places throughout the day and pray.  Be specific.  Make sure you don’t rush this.  As a family, take time to walk around the neighborhood when you get home - praying for those that live near you. 

Ask God to give you every place you set your foot.

REFLECT:

How was your day? What did you see? What did you learn?

DAY OO: SENT OUT

Ready...set...go!

Hebrews 12:1-2 says, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. So, therefore we fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.”

As we prepare to enter into the next 40 days:

Will you pray for the unbelieving people at your school, work and who live in your neighborhood?

Will you commit to daily renew, reveal and reflect over the next 40 days to the best of your ability?

What will you sacrifice and fast over the next 40 days?


Will you commit to finding a prayer partner in the next two days?

The 40: RELENTLESS COVENANT

 • I commit to doing my best to pray for the unbelieving people around me.

 • I commit to daily renewing my soul by reading God’s Word and praying.

 • I commit to reveal the love of God to those around me through various acts of kindness.

 • I commit to spend time reflecting on my day with my family and myself each day.

 • I do all of this knowing that God wants to use me to spread His love and to bring glory to His name!
