Bible reading plans, each 40 days long
Lent begins today and with that I wanted to list a collection of every English reading plan provided on Bible.com that is available for you to begin reading today. These are the plans that are available in the YouVersion Bible App. These are provided through many different publishers they partner with. There are 48 plans listed here (all on one page, sorry) starting with the most recently added and going back to the ones that have been around the longest.
Hopefully these will help you to find a devotional Bible plan to use during this lenten season, or anytime you want to start a 40 day reading plan.
#1 40 Daily Devotionals for Lent
This study, brought to you by First15, is designed to accompany you on your journey through the Lent season, and provide encouragement as you spend time in God's presence and intentionally seek Him over the next 40 days. We hope this is a helpful resource for you!
#2 Mondo
Gospel-A-Day reading plan through the Lent season leading up to Easter. Read the ENTIRE Gospel!
#3 Faithful Love
Faithful love. Covenant promise. Everlasting commitment. Not only do these words describe the relationship of God to His people, but they describe the relationship of Hosea to his wife, Gomer. When God’s people turned away from Him, He could have turned His back on them. Instead, He sent His faithful love. Hosea reminds us that God is a covenant keeping God. His faithful love pursues His people, His promises remain steadfast, and His commitment remains sure. This story offers encouragement and hope, showing how God’s faithful love pursues us.
#4 Daniel: Far From Home
The story of Daniel and his three friends is well known and well loved. But the account of these four men, in a far away land, is so much more than the lion’s den and a fiery furnace that we remember from Sunday school. In forty days, experienced Bible–teacher Justin Mote, shows us God’s goodness, provision and sovereignty, even when the situation seems out of control.
#5 Invest In Love: A Prayer Journey For Workers
We love because God first loved us. Until we have received God’s love, and grasped its breadth, height, and depth, our attempts to love others will falter. Our love is a response to meeting the God who is love, and allowing ourselves to be loved by Him. This 40-day prayer journey focuses on investing time in receiving God’s love, being changed by that love, and responding to that love.
#6 Word on the Street - II
This gospel-friendly, reader-friendly plan is designed to help you enjoy the riches of the Gospel in Galatians, Daniel and Ephesians. Readings from the two epistles are paired with selected psalms for meditative prayer and readings from Daniel are paired with their continuing theme and fulfilment in the New Testament.
#7 Fast From Wrong Thinking
It is not a “fast” from food, it is a fast from 40 negative thoughts that are causing you distress, anxiety, sadness, pain, depression, and hurt—thoughts that are beating you up—and have kept you from experiencing the real Jesus. Hundreds of thousands of people have experienced Fast From Wrong Thinking. This is our ALL NEW 2019 YouVersion Fast From Wrong Thinking. It will change your life.

Over 7500 completions
Many can name the cast of their favorite TV show or the full roster of their favorite team. But few Christians know the names of all twelve of Jesus’s disciples. These are the twelve: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him (Matthew 10:2-4). These were the twelve men Jesus chose to become his closest companions and ministers during his three-year ministry. And these are the twelve men whose lives we will be studying in this six-week Love God Greatly study. As it became clear to the disciples who Jesus really is, and as the Holy Spirit came upon them, their faith grew and their passion for their Savior was ignited. They became men who were not only willing to give up family and home but men who were willing to give up their very lives for the glory of Jesus. This did not happen because they were more special than any of us. This is the result of the power of God in them. Men who were fearful became bold. Men who were ignorant became wise. Men who were confused as to where they were to go or what they were to do became clear about their calling. A real encounter with Jesus changes people. As you study these twelve men, look not only at the various experiences these men had and how this close encounter with Jesus changed them but also at how you can be changed as well. So grab your favorite beverage, crack open your Bible, and let’s encounter this same Jesus together, reading and writing what God speaks into our hearts along the way. For more encouragement, join us at LoveGodGreatly.com where you’ll find further insights, community, and content to supplement your time in God's Word!#20 Overcome Porn: The 40 Day Challenge
