Gospel Truth
We were hard-wired to worship. Because of our sin, we worship the
things God created, instead of the creator himself. All the things we
worship, outside of Jesus, will fail to fulfill our hearts. Jesus eagerly waits
to give you the satisfaction your soul is longing for.
Prayer for today
Jesus, forgive me for searching for hope, security, and identity outside of
you. Forgive me for believing that other things can satisfy my soul more
than you can. Would my heart long for you, and you alone today.

praying for today

Are you fully convinced that you are saved by grace alone, or have you been led to believe that you need to earn God’s love?
Gospel Truth
You are not capable of living up to God’s standard for righteousness. Your
good works don’t have the power to save you, if that were true, Jesus
would have never had to come. You can rest in his grace today, not your
good works. You are loved because of what he did, not what you can do.
Prayer for today
Jesus, thank you for your amazing grace. Thank you that your love for me
is not based on what I do today, but by what you did on the cross. Today,
would my soul find rest in your grace, not my good works.

Do you believe that you need other Christians in your life to help you in your walk with Jesus?
Gospel Truth
We were created for vulnerability and intimacy. The good news of Jesus
allows us to live in authentic community with other believers. We can
share about our hurts, struggles and pain without shame, because we
know that our identity is not based on them.
Prayer for today
Jesus, would you bring other believers into my life who would point me
toward you? Would you give me the humility to allow others to speak
truth into the dark areas of my life? And would you give me the courage
to share authentically about the areas of my life that still need your work?List the things you’re

Is there something in your life that you are afraid to face?
Gospel Truth
God knows you fully. This can be a terrifying thought. But, the Gospel
reminds us that he knows you fully, and yet loves you fully. You are fully
known, and fully loved. There is nothing you can face, admit, or expose
that would change God’s passionate love for you.
Prayer for today
Jesus, forgive me for trying to cover up what your Spirit is trying to teach
me. Give me the courage to be alone in your presence and to allow your
Spirit to expose in me any wicked ways. Remind me that your love for

How do you currently deal with temptation? How is it working for you?
Gospel Truth
There are dozens of ways that you will be tempted to find satisfaction
outside of Jesus. The good news is, he promised to never leave you. He
also promised to give you what your soul is actually longing for. Jesus
knows your temptation, and gives you his spirit to overcome. He knew
that your soul would be searching for hope, and he offers you himself.
Prayer for today

me the discipline to walk by your spirit, not by my flesh. Remind me that

Gospel Truth
God cares about your problems. And believe it or not, he has solved them.
Maybe not in the “here and now”, but in eternity. He won’t leave you in
your brokenness, but offers eternal life. He promises that there will be a
day without pain, guilt, or shame. We can face the hardships of marriage
with peace because we have hope for a better future.
Prayer for today
Jesus, help me to make decisions based on eternity, not on the practical for
today. Give us the courage to take risks with our time and money, knowing
that we are secure in our eternity with you. Remind me today that this is
not our home, and to store up treasures in heaven, not on this earth.

your brokenness. He is relentless in his grace and forgiveness toward you.
When you are connected to that reality, you are able to offer grace and

offers himself instead.

“Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to
abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war

/ DAY Five
What is the Kingdom of Heaven? How does it look different than the kingdom of this world?
Gospel Truth
God has invited your children to be part of a new Kingdom, a better
Kingdom. A Kingdom where he is King. The kingdom of this world will
offer all kinds of ways for your kids to find joy, but the Kingdom of
Heaven will offer your children everything their soul actually desires. The
Kingdom of Heaven offers them true hope, identity, and satisfaction.
Prayer for today
Father, help me to use every opportunity to teach my children about you
and the Kingdom of Heaven. Don’t let me get so busy in the details of life
that I miss teaching them about you. Protect their hearts and minds from
the kingdom of this world. Transform them by the renewing of their mind. List the things you’re
praying for today

“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we

/ DAY One
Gospel Truth
Your value has nothing to do with what you do. You are loved because of
who you are (child of God), not based on what you do. There is nothing
you can accomplish at work today that would make God love you any
more than he already does.
Prayer for today
Spirit, remind me where my value comes from. Protect me from the lie
that my worth is based on what I do for a living. Thank you for loving me
for who I am, not what I do, or what I can accomplish. Help me to find
my identity in you, and you alone.
How much of your identity is tied to what you do for work?

“Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather
into the barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are
you not more valuable than they?”Matthew 6:26
A Gospel-centered man is not , but gives thanks to God for the mind and body he has given him.

/ DAY two
Gospel Truth
Your family needs more than money. They need hope, security,
satisfaction. They need salvation. Your family needs more than you can
give them. They need Jesus. The scriptures are clear: you should be
working hard as if you are working for the Lord, but don’t forget who
the real provider of your family is. His name is Jesus.
Prayer for today
Lord, thank you for providing for all of my needs. Beyond my basic needs,
you have provided for my greatest need… salvation. Give me the ability
to work hard for the basic needs of my family, and the humility to point
them toward the ultimate provider- you.
What does it mean to you to be the provider of your family?

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You
cannot serve God and money.”Matthew 6:24
A Gospel-centered man doesn’t crave , but craves to give God with whatever amount of money he does have.

/ DAY Three
If you’re honest with yourself, how much control does money have over your life?
Gospel Truth
Money offers itself as a good god. It gives the impression that it can offer
you hope, security and identity. But, just like all other gods, it will fail you.
The Gospel reminds us that there is only one who can truly offer hope,
security and identity. Because of Jesus, we can use money as a tool to
advance God’s Kingdom, instead of allowing it to have control over us.
Prayer for today
Jesus, rescue me from the temptation of money. Remind me that my
identity, security, and hope come from you, not from a bank account. Let
me see all of my money as a gift from you, and as a tool to advance your
Kingdom. Help me to be gracious with my money, the same way you have
been gracious with your blessings toward me. List the things you’re
praying for today

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

/ DAY four
Gospel Truth
The gospel reminds us that we aren’t valuable based on how productive
we are, but on what God thinks of us. We don’t have to fill our schedules
full of activity. We can rest because we know that we are loved based on
who we are, not what we do.
Prayer for today
Lord, give me the wisdom to see where I am wasting time with my life.
Give me the discipline to cut the things out of my calendar that don’t
make sense for you and your Kingdom. Help me to say “no” more. Align
my calendar with your heart, Lord.
Are there unnecessary things on your calendar that stop you from spending quality time with God, your wife and your kids?

“Go therefore and make disciplines of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”
Matthew 28:19-20
We all have the same : to be by God to see his Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven.

/ DAY Five
What does it practically look like to be a missionary to your workplace?
Gospel Truth
God has invited you to join him in his redemption of the world. It is no
accident that you are working where you are. Every person that you
work with, every interaction you have, was planned before the day you
were born. God is drawing every person to himself, and he’s inviting you
to be a part of that.
Prayer for today
Jesus, help me to see my workplace as more than a paycheck. Remind me
that I am on mission with you. Use me today to bring light into the dark
places of my co-workers. Allow me to share your good news, in both
word and deed, with every person that I interact with. Thank you for
allowing me to join you in the redemption of the world. List the things you’re
praying for today
