Daily Devotional Rules
Guidelines for Participating in Daily Devotional:
Individual participants will spend scheduled time in prayer, Bible study, and journaling. These guidelines must be followed.
- The participant is to spend at least 15 minutes reading their Bible and/or in Bible study each day. Each day’s reading will be recorded on the Daily Devotional Award Certification Form for verification.
- Participants may work with a Bible study guide to aid them.
- Participants will also spend time in PRAYER each day and keep a JOURNAL of things they pray about. This journal will allow them to observe how the Lord works in their prayer life. (This journal is a private part of the relationship that is developing between the participant and God. Therefore, the journal is private and off-limits to others for reading unless the participant gives them permission.)
- Journals may be in any format: handwritten, typed, or notes on a phone.
- Local church and program directors will verify that the reading record is filled out with at least one reading per day and will verify that at least one journal entry is made for each day of participation. No one should read the participant’s journal, but simply verify that a journal is kept daily.
