4 Minutes a Day for 40 Days
A Whole Life Offering for CityView’s Future
January 1 – February 9
Big Idea:
What if God could shape the future of CityView through 4 minutes a day for 40 days?
Not through hustle.
Not through strategy alone.
But through a church that offers its whole life to God in prayer.
WHY THIS MATTERS
CityView is stepping into a new season.
New clarity. New values. New responsibility.
Before we talk about what we will do, we want to be clear about who we are becoming.
So we are calling our church to something simple, focused, and faith-filled:
4 minutes a day.
For 40 days.
For the future God is shaping at CityView.
WHAT WE’RE ASKING YOU TO DO
Each day, for 40 days:
Read one Scripture
Pray one focused prayer
Offer one part of your life back to God
That’s it.
You don’t need the right words.
You don’t need extra time.
You don’t need to feel “spiritual.”
Just show up.
WHY 40 DAYS?
In Scripture, 40 days is a season of:
Preparation
Refining
Reorientation
This isn’t about earning God’s favor.
It’s about positioning ourselves to receive what He wants to do in us and through us.
HOW THIS CONNECTS TO WHOLE LIFE OFFERING
Our message series is rooted in Romans 12:1–13
“Present your bodies as a living sacrifice…”
This prayer journey mirrors that same movement:
Week 1: Offering ourselves
Week 2: Offering our minds
Week 3: Offering our gifts
Week 4: Offering our relationships
Week 5: Offering our resources and mission
By the time we roll out our values, we don’t just want to talk about them.
We want to be formed by them.
WHAT COULD GOD DO WITH THIS?
Imagine if:
Hundreds of people prayed daily—not perfectly, but faithfully
Hearts softened
Priorities clarified
Unity strengthened
Courage renewed
We believe God uses small, faithful acts to shape lasting futures.
And 4 minutes a day is not small in the hands of God.
THE INVITATION
You don’t have to do all 40 days perfectly.
You don’t have to catch every day.
But we are asking you to start.
“Lord, because of Your mercy, I offer You my life again today.”
That prayer—multiplied across our church—can shape our future.
