7 Days of Honest Prayer
FreeEach day gives you a short Scripture and a simple prompt to talk to God honestly — about fear, anger, confusion, desire, and hope — without trying to “sound spiritual.”
How challenges work
Each challenge focuses on one simple practice for a set number of days (usually seven). They’re meant to come alongside your Scripture reading, not replace it.
- A short Scripture or theme for the day
- A simple practice or prompt to live out
- 1–2 reflection questions to talk about with God
- Room to be honest when it’s hard or you miss a day
If you miss a day, you don’t “fail the challenge.” Just pick up where you left off. God cares more about your heart than your streak.

How challenges fit with devotionals
Devotionals mostly help you reflect with Scripture. Challenges help you practice what you’re reading in small, concrete ways.
You can:
- Do a challenge alongside a devotional plan
- Use a challenge on its own during a busy season
- Repeat a challenge that God used deeply in your life
If a challenge ever feels too intense for your season, it’s okay to pause or switch to something gentler. God is not testing you with these.
A note about emotional and spiritual safety
Some challenges may touch tender places — grief, trauma, church hurt, complicated relationships, or anxiety. Please listen to your limits.
Living Devo is not a substitute for counseling, pastoral care, or crisis support. If a challenge brings up more than you can carry alone, consider inviting a trusted friend, mentor, pastor, or counselor into the process.
You are never a failure for needing help. Asking for support can be a deeply faithful response.
