Dare: Be intentional today about making a time to pray and read your Bible. Try reading a chapter out of Proverbs each day (there are thirty-one-a full month's supply), or reading a chapter in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). As you do, immerse yourself in the love and promises God has for you. This will add to your growth as you walk with Him.

How do you think spending time daily with God will change your situation and perspective? How can you make Him a bigger part of your day? I've been reading a Proverb each day for quite some time now. I really like all the wisdom that is in the Proverbs. Someone who really follows them is almost bound to be an effective person in every area of his/her life. I can make God a bigger part of my day by having a quiet time on the weekends. I have definitely gotten away from that for the most part. I think this last weekend would have been greatly improved if I had spent some time alone in the Word.
