As a writer, mother, and growth-minded individual, I am always looking for opportunities to learn.

In this 4-day devotional plan, you’ll journey from a mindset of begging to one of believing. Drawing from Kelly K’s powerful teaching, each day uses Scripture to reveal how faith transforms your prayers, identity, and expectations. You’ll learn to trust God’s promises, not just plead for them. Discover how to pray with confidence, shift from fear to faith, and walk in the freedom of what Christ has already done.

This reading plan is ideal for family devotions and will remind readers of the importance of including the Lord in everything they do. Each devotion includes an opportunity for family members to discuss their day, a thought for the day, a family activity, a prayer, a “random act of kindness” and a Scripture verse. The content for this reading plan is based on Ewald and Beatrix van Rensburg’s “Growing Together”.
