The 2025 Challenge Begins In...
Do you ever find yourself wanting more?
More of Jesus.
More of His presence.
More confidence that you're actually connecting with Him—not just going through the motions in your spiritual walk.
Lent is the perfect season for drawing near, for making space for God to reveal Himself in fresh ways.
What if, for the next 40 days, you could experience His love more deeply as you ponder Scripture in fresh ways and pray with purpose, focus, and expectation?
That’s exactly what this challenge is designed to help you do.
Keep reading to see how...
Praying the Promises of the Cross is a 40-day guided prayer and devotional challenge designed to help you experience more of Jesus’ love and presence by meditating on Scripture and praying intentionally.
Each day, you’ll be led through a key promise from God’s Word with prompts to help you:
💜 Deepen your connection with Christ by reflecting on His person and provision
💜 Pray with confidence using Scripture
💜 Stay focused and consistent with daily devotionals and reflection questions—no more wondering what to pray
💜 Experience spiritual renewal as you align your heart with God’s truth
For the next 40 days, you're invited to create space to hear from God, lean into His promises, and let His love transform your heart.
"I have been looking for something that would help me to focus on the Scriptures and then pray them back to the Lord. This is the best resource to do this."

"Reading and writing about each promise has encouraged me during a difficult time. Even if some of the verses are familiar, the questions Arabah Joy gave in her workshop take me deeper into God’s word. God’s promises are revitalizing my faith!"

This toolkit includes a digital copy of our groundbreaking 40-Day Praying the Promises of the Cross Prayer Journal, 40 companion Daily Prayer Cards, 6 Scripture Coloring Sheets, our 40-Days of Devotionals, and the online Workshop.
This toolkit includes more than $156 in printable and online resources to help improve your prayer life.
The Praying the Promises Toolkit will:
No, the toolkit is not a book, it's a collection of varying digital resources specifically for praying the promises of God. Please note all materials are digital and nothing is mailed via snail mail.
At this time, the Toolkit is only available as digital resource. You can print the Toolkit and have it bound, access it on your device, or a combo of both.
Your Toolkit will be delivered immediately after purchase to the email address you provide at checkout.
Due to the nature of digital files and the limitations of our small team, we are not able to provide refunds. We're sure you're going to love it!
This Toolkit is designed as a companion resource to our FREE Praying the Promises of the Cross 40-Day Challenge.
It is perfect for anyone participating in the challenge who wants an easy way to implement the challenge, spend less time figuring out what and how to pray, and learn a system for spending more time actually praying.
As it is digital, it is not right for anyone who isn't comfortable with digital products or has trouble downloading and finding items on their device.
It never ceases to amaze me that this question still gets asked :) Because the truth is, preparing these resources isn't free. Just as it costs to go to the dentist, the grocery, keep the lights on at church, or run a ministry, it costs substantially for us to hire graphic designers, editors, numerous tools for creating the resources, pay for hosting and delivery services, have customer support to help with any issues or questions... not to mention the hours and hours spent writing and preparing the materials.
In a word, YES! Not spending time in prayer is costly. Not taking the opportunity to daily affirm God's word is costly. Not praying God's word over others in your life is costly. Investing $25 for resources that will help your prayer life deepen, provide structure, and keep you on track is NOT costly. What you'll receive by implementing this toolkit is invaluable and will have life-long ramifications. THAT is worth it.
The Praying the Promises bundled Toolkit is not available anywhere else. When purchased separately, the resources are valued at over $150, but during this special offer, you can grab it for just $25.
"I signed up for your challenge. It made me so hungry for God's word again. Even my 9 year old sat and read it with me. I am going to a new church this weekend after over a year of being angry and hurt. And I want you to know your prayer challenge helped me with that."
