11/2024 Since there is still so much interest in this challenge I have decided to reopen it!

The Sign Up Is At The Bottom Of The Post.

Welcome to Spiritually Hungry’s 30 Day Thanks Challenge.

If you want to be more thankful for what God has given you – this is the Challenge for you!

In order to help you out, we’re providing you each day with Scripture, prayer prompts, and reflection questions. Occasionally, there will also be a worship song to accompany a day.

Every Friday we give out another freebie for Freebie Fridays! Usually, it is another downloadable like a worksheet, workbook, coloring page, and so forth!

We want to help you have a month that is filled with gratitude, and we provide the resources to help accomplish this Challenge!

Finally, we have for you a special Thanksgiving Day Activity, designed to help your loved ones express their thanks in a very non-threatening, zero-embarrassment way! Our aim is to help you make Thanksgiving Day Christ-centered. It’s a great activity that will be easy to implement.

Christians often tell us they wish their holidays could be centered on more than just sharing a meal together, but they just aren’t sure how to do so. That’s how we’d like to help!

In our experience, the spiritual discipline of thankfulness opens hearts to receive more from the Lord, and in turn, give back to this world that is so desperate for Jesus.

When you take time, to consciously tune your heart to an attribute, such as thanks, you will be surprised how your eyes change. We hope that this challenge brings you closer to God and more like Jesus.

We need to intentionally create space in our life for God.

It’s incredibly easy to put our relationship with God on the backburner when there are so many other obligations in our life. In our home, we have two children under the age of 3 and, of course, that means a lot of daily obligations, routines, and schedules. Even when things go perfectly and everyone naps, eats and plays on schedule and without a hitch, it’s always a tight, busy day. And, when the schedule doesn’t work (especially napping!), well…it’s easy to feel like we’re just trying to survive the day!

That’s why we create the Challenges to be both fun and quick to do. On most days, you should be able to finish the Challenge in around 5 minutes – which doesn’t seem like a lot of time. But, over the course of the month, that’s 2 1/2 hours.

Can you imagine taking a 2 1/2 hour workshop on thankfulness? You’d probably expect some serious results from such an intensive excursion, right? Well, that’s what we’re presenting you with, except we’re breaking it down into 5 minutes a day sections that you can manage with your schedule.

Of course, November is right before December, and we hope to help you prepare your heart and mind for the advent of our Lord.

So how does this Challenge work?

You will receive a free guidebook that will provide you with:

• Daily Bible Verse
• Reflection Questions
• Prayer Prompts
• Thankfulness Prompts (ideas for more ways to have more thankfulness in your life)

So while preparing for the holidays, prepare your heart and soul through challenging yourself to 30 Days of Thankfulness!
