3 Must Have Faith Journal Ideas to Help You Stay Focused During Quiet Time!

If you’re looking for some faith journal ideas to take your Bible study routine up a notch then you are right where you need to be my friend! 

Faith journaling is a spiritual practice that involves writing down your thoughts and reflections in a journal as a way of deepening your relationship with God and cultivating an intimate worship experience.

While journaling, you can record your thoughts, prayers, dreams, or anything that you feel like you want to reflect on and explore. It is an excellent way to create a space for reflection and self-exploration.

With journaling, you can explore and process your thoughts, feelings, and dreams in a very creative way.

There are many ways to go about journaling—you can start with free-form writing and then move to third-person writing, create a prayer journal, or even begin a gratitude journal.

You can journal just about anything, including your hopes and dreams, your feelings, experiences, observations, creative ideas, and much more! Journaling is a great way to get in touch with yourself, reflect on your life, and have a conversation with God.

It is a wonderful and creative way to spend time with God and receive His guidance, love, and encouragement.

Have you ever tried faith journaling? If not, then you must try it! I know everyone’s always telling you to try this or that but I promise you this time it’s different.

When you create a faith journal, you begin to explore your relationship with Jesus, study the Bible, and pray in a whole new way.

It really is life-changing. Once again, an overused phrase but think about it. How could a strong relationship with God NOT be life-changing? Nearly impossible!Continue reading

Christian Gratitude Affirmations For Your Gratitude Journal

Have you struggled to complain? No? Yeah, me either.

In fact, complaining and being discontented with your life is one of the easiest things to do. And yet, as Christian women, we are called by Christ to be grateful and thankful for our blessings. But this is can be hard to do so what can we do to make gratitude come a little bit easier?

Well, one of the best ways to quickly remind yourself of what you should be grateful for is by keeping gratitude affirmations in your journal.

Have you heard the hymn that says, count your blessings…name them one by one and it’ll surprise you what the Lord has done?

Well, there’s a reason why this song was written…and why gratitude is mentioned so often in the Bible. I’ve learned through the years that one of the ways to live a more fulfilled life is to first show gratitude for the things I already have.

If you struggle with having a spirit of gratitude, don’t worry! Today, I’ll share with you some Christian gratitude affirmations and how they can help you cultivate a grateful heart.Continue reading

How Studying The Bible Is Life-Changing When You Feel Spiritually Tired!

8 Amazing Benefit Of Bible Study 

Have you ever felt like studying the Bible was just a task to be endured and checked off your to-do list? There are some Christians who have never felt this I’m sure but I’m sad to say that I am not one of them.

Setting aside time to study the Bible can frankly seem like an interruption to our busy day. Because what we are doing instead (you know scrolling through Facebook or Instagram) is so much more important. I hope you are familiar with sarcasm.

If not, then you might not have realized that I do not believe catching up on Facebook “news” is more important than reading the word of God. It’s just that it’s easy to get caught up in everyday life and seemingly not have any time to spend with the Lord.

If you’ve ever felt this way, then I sit back as I share with you 10 reasons why studying the Bible is awesome and vital to our relationship with the Lord!

10 Faith-Based Morning Journal Prompts for ADHD Women Who Feel Down About Themselves!

–10 Christian Journal Prompts For Self-Esteem When You Don’t Know Your Worth

Why would someone need to know any biblical affirmations for self-esteem?

Sometimes as Christian women, it can be easy to believe that we have less worth to God in his kingdom and it can really take a toll on our self-esteem!

At least that is how I have felt in the past (and secretly sometimes still do). 

Especially when you read the Bible and learn that the roles that God defined for us don’t always line up with the roles the world has defined for us.

I know I have felt less than in Christian spaces because it does sometimes seem like women are not as important to God as men are.

But don’t worry…women really do have worth in God’s eyes. Just look around you; God has done and is still doing great and mighty things through women in various fields of life.

Not only that but if you read the New Testament, you will see just how valuable women were to our Savior, Jesus.

Today, I’ll share some bible verses that can help you get your confidence back. These biblical affirmations for self-esteem will remind you that God loves you no matter how you’ve felt in the past.
