Hey there,
Have you ever wanted to get closer to God but felt overwhelmed by where to start? I’ve been there. Life is full—work, family, chores, and unexpected things every day. But I’ve found that when I slow down and focus on just one Bible verse a day, it helps me stay spiritually grounded.
That’s why I created this 30-day Bible verse challenge. It’s simple: one verse, one thought, every day. No pressure. Just small steps toward a deeper faith. Whether you’re new to reading the Bible or just want to reconnect with God’s Word gently, this challenge is for you.
Let’s walk through 30 days of peace, truth, and encouragement together.

How the Challenge Works
Each day, you’ll read one short Bible verse and reflect on one simple thought. You can do this:
- In the morning with your coffee
- During your lunch break
- In the evening before bed
You don’t need a fancy journal or a lot of time. Just an open heart. You can even write the verse on a sticky note or save it as your phone wallpaper.
Come back every day to read the actual daily Scripture!

Conclusion
This challenge isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about taking one small step every day—one verse, one thought, one quiet moment to breathe, reflect, and connect with God.
I’ve done this challenge myself, and it helped me slow down and refocus. Some days, I missed it—and that’s okay. But over time, I noticed a change in my heart. I felt more peaceful, hopeful, and aware of God’s presence.
So give it a try. Save these verses. Read one each morning or evening. Let them speak to you. Let them guide you.
Because staying spiritually grounded doesn’t have to be hard. It starts with one verse, one day at a time.
