DQT — 90-Day Challenge

A Daily Rhythm of Life with God

Welcome to the DQT — 90-Day Challenge. DQT means Daily Quiet Time: a simple, intentional time with God in his Word and prayer. Set aside about 10–15 minutes each day, at a time and place that work for you. Some readings may invite you to linger longer.

Through faith in Jesus Christ, we receive the forgiveness he secured through his death for us. Our sins no longer stand against us: we are reconciled to God, welcomed as his children, and given his Spirit. Our daily time with God is a response to this grace, not a way of earning his acceptance.

We come to the Father through the Son, depending on the Holy Spirit to help us understand Scripture, trust Christ, and live in his love. The aim is to know Christ, become like him, and make him known—for the glory of God.

Five Rs for Your Quiet Time

• Request: Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand God’s Word and respond with faith and obedience.
• Read: Read the passage slowly. Notice who is speaking, what is happening, and what the passage actually says. All readings use the NET Bible, Second Edition (NET2).
• Reflect: Use the two questions to consider what the passage reveals and how its truth addresses your life. Read promises in their setting: who received them, and how do they fit within God’s unfolding purposes?
• Restate: Express the main truth in one or two sentences of your own. You are not rewriting Scripture; you are checking your understanding.
• Respond: Pray in response to what you have read. Consider how you can carry its truth into your relationships, choices, and responsibilities today.

PTCIP: Bringing Your Life to God in Prayer

Within “Respond,” use PTCIP to help you pray. These are invitations, not a formula you must complete perfectly.

• Praise: Worship God for who he is.
• Thanksgiving: Thank him for what he has done and given.
• Confession: Acknowledge your sins honestly, turn from them, and rest in the forgiveness secured by Christ.
• Intercession: Bring other people and their needs before him.
• Petition: Ask for help with your own needs, wisdom, and strength.

Each day offers brief, passage-shaped prompts. You do not need to write five answers or pray at the same length about each one. Speak honestly to your Father, through Jesus Christ, trusting the Spirit’s help.

Grace for Ordinary Days

Choose a realistic time and reduce distractions where you can. Keep your Bible and a place for brief notes nearby. When your mind wanders, gently return to the passage. If you miss a day, continue where you left off—no restarting and no catching-up penalty. God’s welcome in Christ is not measured by an unbroken streak.

These eight themes belong together. We do not leave the gospel behind when we learn to pray, or postpone loving others until the mission readings. Throughout the challenge, knowing Christ nourishes becoming like him and making him known, and these dimensions strengthen one another.
